They are commonly referred to as "Black Pearl".

I don't think this is a black pearl gecko. It's labelled as "dark blizzard" sometimes called "midnight blizzard" as well. The blizzard is a mono-colored gecko and the color can vary within the same gecko depending on mood and temperature. Some of them do look gray to purplish. My blizzard ranges from nearly white to bronze colored.

The black pearl gecko is a non-blizzard gecko that is very dark. There are threads about it on this forum if you do a search. It's not clear to me if the black pearl has turned out to be genetically viable or not (I'm not particularly into black leopard geckos, so I haven't really been following).

This one is probably a midnightbliz.

There's also (as mentioned above): black pearls.
Then theres also black nights!

Everyone is correct. A dark blizzard is fairly common.

Black Pearls don't always end up being dark. Dark Nights appear to be a true dark morph so far. There are also charcoal which is a dark tangerine.

Whatever it is, that is a very lovely gecko.
