Well, if you're asking about morphs, you may like the supermotleys that come out appearing silver/grey.

But if you're asking for Boas in general, I know lots of the Central Americans start out looking grey and many end up retaining this grey, or turning darker, almost black.

A few in particular:

Cancun Boas, Sonoran Desert Boas, Cay Caulkers, Hog Islands, some Nicaraguans, some Panamanians, Crawl Cay, and others.


If you're wanting an adult that would be the blackest, you can go with Argentine Boas and Peruvian redtails.


If you want to try making your own, how about a pastel anerythristic boa, or a darker, spotted version?
One should be a light, clean silver color, the other probably a darker grey with black.

Here are some pics to illustrate...

Didn't mention this one, but this is a morph of a Sonoran Desert Boa, the Leopard Boa. Some variations look black as adults. She's being bred by a young 'mysstery' male here...





Here's a reduced pattern Hog Island Boa



Baby Cancun Boas




Adult Cancun Boa



Adult 'normal' SOnoran Boa



Here's the Sonoran with a Leopard



Here's another Hog Island Boa




Then there's the Ghost Boa - (Anerythristic X Hypomelanistic)
He's the light grey, silver one here...




and here next to that ugly red guy....




Well, hope this helps a bit!
