Are Black Tahitian Pearls really black in color? Or did it get the name due to some other reason?
The short answer is "No".
Although Tahitian pearls are often referred to as black pearls or black South Sea pearls, they are rarely actually black. Instead, Tahitian pearls come in more than 80 distinguishable color. The most common are gray and green. Although actual black Tahitian pearls do exist, true blacks are very rare.
Tahitian pearls are called "black" pearls in part because they are the only pearls which naturally develop in dark colors. The other commonly cultured pearl varieties (South Sea, akoya, freshwater) are never dark or black unless dyed.
Also, Tahitian pearls are produced by the Pinctada margaritifera, which is also known as the black-lip oyster. The P. marg. got its common name due to the dark mantle lining of its shell interior. This dark mantle is also responsible for the color of the pearls.
