I've got a couple of black scallops. The leaves really are dark and the flowers are the prettiest blue.

Looks like there are one or two Heuchera with dark red / purple leaves which might suit you. Palace Purple looks quite darkBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I ran across this page via a gardening article today and think the frilly black irises are stunning, you could almost go to a ball in the black lipstick one.0

I spotted this lovely deep purple iris in someone's front garden today and thought of you.

Too late for this year, but if I think "bishop's children" dahlia seeds could be one to try for next year - I've always had a decent germination rate. Most (but not all) tend to have dark leaves, and the flowers are always vibrant - I seem to end up with more purple or red flowers than any other colour.0
