- With the standard theme of darkness and light, it can be shorthand for the color pitch black
- the pitch in pitch black, in turn, refers to an extremely dark and viscous type of tar
- Pitch is a measure of frequency, and can apply to both light and sound, such as in descriptions of the well-known Doppler effect dealing with rising and falling pitches.
