I had an Aechmea Chantinii Black (Ebony) which is shown in the first photo.

I found another bromeliad (NOID) on the back of a shelf at a box store that is similar yet different and would like to know what I have. 2nd photo.

I notice it is similar in growth so am assuming it is also an Aechmea. The color was much darker but that is probably due to lighting, moisture conditions.

The bands are so much wider and distinct that it does not resemble the Chantinii black in my opinion.

Would anyone know the correct cultivar?
