Pepper with most beautiful black foliage?

[solid7]

Looking for some ideas for a plant with striking foliage.  Should be dark, as black as possible.  Should also grow a great tasting pod.   I mean this one should be really special.  Yes, black peppers often suck.  So it's a challenge.
.
Go.

Also, I should note... I have grown out Kathumby Black (blech) and Black pearl. (that's a nice one)

purple flash which is more purple than black and black hawk are the only ones i know of but i haven`t grown them so i can`t verify how black they are. black pods are out there, black foliage on a pepper plant is a unicorn. afaik

Black Cobra/Goat's Weed     Dark purplish foliage.  To me, not that great tasting, but HOT as all get out.

My Black Pearl plants got black foliage.  I think it depends on how much sun they get.  I mean, they weren't as black as night, but they were definitely the darkest that I've seen.
 
The Kathumby Black that I had, was of an unknown generation. (I understand that it's still not stable)  The foliage was dark to very dark on top, but green on the underside.

Is there more than one cultivar of this?  Because everything that I have seen has green leaves... except for just one reference.

I'm sure there is.  I posted a pic years back of mine.  Beautiful dark purple foliage and of course jet black peppers.  Can't find the pic !!!       It's on here somewhere.
 
ETA:  I had about 4 plants.   2 of em had the dark purple foliage.  Others not so much.

hmmmmm...ok...gotta fess up.  I was wrong about them having dark purple foliage.  It's the purple flowers that had me goin on my plants.  The leaves WERE greenish but had a purplish blush to them.  Very attractive.

So far my 7JPNs (on the left) are looking gorgeous. I haven't tried the pods yet, but I got the seeds from WHP, and I trust Justin's judgment on the flavor. Hoping to confirm that in a couple months.

Do you plan to put that plant outside?  I am most curious to see what happens when it's exposed to direct sunlight...

Yes, I plan on putting at least one of them outside. I'll certainly keep my glog up to date; hoping to make them a bit of a showpiece out front of my house.

it stays SHORT though !  
Would make a beautiful border plant maybe 

 

[solid7]

Short is good.  Plants don't need to be huge, right?
.
That one looks exactly like the black pearl.  I wonder if it's the same thing...

it's even more compact than Blackpearl like 6" tall

I just bought some seeds.  This one makes both black leaves and pods. 
 
Nice recommend

Another option perhaps.
 
Pretty Purple Pepper (2009)
 

 
"2 1/2-foot plants with purple leaves and stalks bearing purple fruit that matures to red. Mature fruits are very hot -- about 5,000 Scoville units. (Not the same variety as 'Pretty in Purple')"

Not exactly "black" foliage, but Cross Country Nurseries will let you filter the foliage to purple on their site:
