Explanation:
in base alle immagini in rete, tarry blue e indaco corrispondono! (sembra più chiaro di un blu cobalto).

In italiano non può essere accostato al catrame, che naturalmente è nero.

Fa come vuoi, ma confermo che l'asfalto è nero. I controsensi incredibili che vediamo anche in rete, e che a volte persino si affermano nell'uso, sono dovuti ai soliti famigerati calchi indiscriminati, che arrivano appunto a questi paradossi.

Anzi, mi correggo ma è un dato di fatto: l'asfalto è ovviamente nero.

Del resto era giustissima la tua perplessità sul fatto che esistesse un "blu catrame".

agree  Gaetano Silvestri Campagnano: A questo punto è sempre meglio di certi calchi surreali che si vedono in rete, dato che, se la vista funziona ancora, al mio paese il catrame è sempre nero.
