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.

Here is a photo of a peppercorn. You can see why a ground one might contain both black and grey bits.

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.
