I have an array which contains some elements with two words, for example array("Dark Blue", "Carnation Pink").. What function do I need to use to search an array value that contains a specified string to be search. If I searched "Dark", the value "Dark Blue" should show.

You could use preg_grep().
$found = preg_grep('/\bDark\b/', $arr);
You could also use array_filter() and preg_match() with a regex..
$found = array_filter($arr, function($value) {
return preg_match('/\bDark\b/', $value);
});

Maybe a good old fashioned foreach loop?
$search_for = "Dark";
foreach (array("Dark Blue", "Carnation Pink") as $value) {
if (strpos($value, $search_for) !== false) {
echo "Found $value<br/>";
}
}
