So I have seen peppers with dark leaves and I have also seen white peppers. I am wondering if a pepper exists which has dark black foliage and white peppers.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I've not seen a purely dark plant with white peppers but Purple Tigers have nicely verigated purple and white foliage.
The variety you want is one that started with an initial crosser (Trippa), who sent some seeds to PaulG about 5-6 years ago. Since then, Paul has been doing an excellent job growing, isolating, & selecting what he wanted. Last season, he handed out seeds for this cross to the community and many are growing two different versions. The variety I'm talking about is Pimenta de Neyde x Bonda Ma Jacques. One strain has pods that ripen a little more purpler than the other, which is white. Kinda cream, but white, nonetheless.
Here's a link to the community grow.

I'm growing some white bell peppers in the same garden as 7jpn and a few other dark varieties this year, maybe I'll get lucky. I grew seeds from 6 individual white bells from last year... none turned out to be crosses unfortunately.
