Pitch, as known in the context of the idiom "pitch dark" or "pitch black", is also called bitumen or tar pitch. It is a nearly-solid, very black ooze that comes from petroleum (which in its raw form is also very black).
The idiom "pitch black" is a minor rearrangement of the simile "black as pitch" which based on the above definition becomes self-descriptive: very, very black.
