I think a Devil's Food cake has a certain level of chocolate in it.
Maybe something like this?

Red Velvet is a very light chocolate cake

German's Chocolate is light choco.

Milk (regular) chocolate is darker than German's lighter than Devil's Food

Devils cake is medium deep chocolate

Swiss chocolate is dark chocolate

Fudge cake is fudgey deep dark chocolate.

But I don't know for sure so I'm looking forward to more answers.

(I think I got the order ^^^^ close to right??? )

Yes, you can doctor pretty much any flavor of box cake mix. If you like doctoring up box mixes, I highly recommend the Cake Mix Doctor book. You can get it at various online book vendors and at Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.
