The idiom "dark as pitch" finds its origin in the pitch, a thick, dark, and viscous substance derived from the distillation of wood or coal tar. The phrase is used to describe a state of extreme darkness or absence of light, likening it to the deep blackness of pitch. The pitch's nature, being highly opaque and light-absorbing, led to its association with profound darkness.
