I don't think there are any *really* black paphs. The dark vini paphs are a really a very dark red. Paph. anitum is probably the darkest species (it was thought originally to be a dark version of adductum). I know they often refer to it as the black paph, but it's really not black as we think of the color (or lack thereof).
