Pitch black means that it is too dark to see, or just the fact that is is very dark.
- English (UK)
Pitch is the name of a type of thick, black substance made from petroleum, so originally 'pitch black' meant 'as black as pitch'. Now people mostly use it to describe very dark places where it is difficult to see.

Pitch black is when it's so dark that you cannot see.
