Best Answer

Smog is not black.

The original smog in London England was formed of sulfur dioxice from coal smoke and fog (hence the name) and was, at best greyer than ordinary fog.

The present photochemical smog, formed from automobile exhaust and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight, is brownish yellow when dense enough.
