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.

I highly recommend buying a proper pepper grinder and buying good quality whole peppercorns so you can grind just prior to use.

In the absence of a proper pepper grinder, I would still recommend using a bad pepper grinder, or even a mortar and pestle. If you're using pre-ground black pepper, you might as well use white.

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

Yep. Seeds have a hardish outer casing for protection from weather etc., and innards full of carbs and protein to grow a new plant. Two purposes, at least two different compounds, two different colors.

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.
