A container of black pepper seems to have both black and greyish bits. Why is this the case? Shouldn’t it all just be black?

Could you post a picture of the container? Black pepper is not completely black through and through. The inside is lighter, which might come across as grey depending.

I highly recommend buying a proper pepper grinder and buying good quality whole peppercorns so you can grind just prior to use.

According to this article, consistency and the darkness of the color is a sign of the quality of the black pepper. Note that this is talking about the outside layer of the peppercorn, not the inside as moscafj has noted.

The color of the pepper is depend on the method of process. If we want to get the spectrum of pepper, we need to passes the pepper thru special process. Then the original color can be maintained. Red,orange,Yellow and green. And the inner part is light green. Especially observe under the bright sunlight. And the white pepper will be light green. The traditional sun-dried pepper is black and grey, that’s true.
You can get the colorful and aromatic pepper from MARICHA PEPE, Verona, Italy.
