What Color is Merlot?

I've been looking at dinning room tables. I want a black wooden one. A guy at a furniture store told me that merlot is black. Although, when I look at tables online the ones that say merlot appear to be more of a dark brown. Dark brown will not go with my other decor. Is he right or wrong?? Of course it's the kind of furniture place where you order it out of a catalog. I'm scared I would order it and it would be brown. Any merlot experts?

Answers:
i think it's a dark berry color, so it may look black in dark lighting
