Black Super Hots?

[AJ Drew]

Black Naga is brown.  Big Black Mama is brown.  Sorry to seem ignorant, but are there any super hots that are actually black?

I got some BBMs last year in a SFRB from 96strat. They were the closest to black I've ever seen.

Assuming there is a difference, what are the heat/flavor profiles compared to chocolates?

The closest to black I have personally grown is the Black Bhutlah Scorpion. They are very, very dark brown, and unlike most peppers, have no gloss to the skin.

Yep, dark brown.  Even Black Prince seems to be purple rather than black.  Blue is another one it is hard for me to think of.

It's the only BBM I've ever had so I can't really compare it. I liked it though!

Are there blacks that aren't super hot?

Blue food doesn't really occur that much naturally, but I found this neat article on getting blue from something like purple cabbage with the addition of an acid like lemon juice:

AJ you are being too literal. Is white corn really white? No it is lighter than yellow. Even white bullets. Black are dark peppers. Really dark, mind you. Should be darker than chocolate.

Not sure.  I know Black Prince and the black bells are purple because I have grown them.  But there are other things like NuMex Halloween that I havent grown that look black in photos.  But with super hots, have never even seen one that looks black in photos.  Kind of weird how browns are called black.  I mean purple comes damn close, but not brown so much.

I have a few phenos of the BBM chocolate.  The one i found this year is the hottest plant iv'e ever grown and the flavor is outstanding.  Every pod is bumpy as hell.  Huge chocolate pods too.  I mean every inch of the pods are bumpy.  Also a mustard/green BBM popped up in two plants.  Flavor is great on those as well.

I am interested in any chocolate that has taste and heat that will trigger Geiger counters.
