hi folks, i've been looking around my seed collection and these black papaver seeds have called my attention since they're usually in tones of gray or even blueish.
does anybody has idea of what variety can it be?

Sounds like hens and chicks. They are mostly black though some should be dark blue or lighter colors. H+C are a good strain, I plan to grow some this fall. Does it get cool enough where you are to grow poppies?

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

I'm familliar with the more blue ones. But, after opening a bunch of giganthemum pods the seeds that I got were fairly black, in addition to many greyer ones which could be considered blueish. Also a good amount of very tiny brown specs. What are these.. undeveloped seeds?
Either way, I don't know how much luck you'll have identifying the strain by seeds, but good luck.
btw, those seeds are up for grabs in the thread at the top of this forum.

I've gotten all different shades of black and blue just from giganteums.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

I think they might be Nigrum 
I have some, and they are black.
Here is some infor on them....
" Its pods are more oval-shaped, smaller, and darker than those of other varieties. Openings in the pod allow the seeds to be removed without any drilling or breaking. Another advantage of this plant is that because it is less domesticated, it is hardier than the other varieties. That means that the whole plant also looks weedier."
(they could also be Peonys etc etc..grow some and show us the flowers, then I can tell you )
Psilo
