The color description of Tahitian Pearls is listed as: black to dark grey with some blue, green and/or purple overtones.

So, while they are often referred to as "black," individual pearls can range from metallic silver colored to dark graphite with various overtones to even goldish colors. And because of their metallic nature, the colors can seem to change depending on the lighting or angle involved.

As you can see from this photo, the color spectrum of Tahitian pearls can vary greatly:
