blue-black

On-Yomi: タイ

Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 30-7-2009(39): A good substitute for black is blue-black, like the color women try to substitute for their black eyebrows with a pencil.

2) [taikura] 17-12-2008(2): Substitute + black= blue-black or blackened-eyebrows. A close substitute for the color black is the color blue-black. Also, women in Japan sometimes have blackened-eyebrows, since their color is naturally a faint blue-black.

3) [abaddon] 7-6-2008(2): Substitute, black: The substitute techer didn't earn enough to buy a TFT with true black pixels. He just had to make do with a screen that seemed blue-black (especially when the sky reflected in it).

4) [Sunspot] 5-2-2012(): Sigh… another Heisig fail. Blue-black is definitely 黝 (あおぐろい). Change the keyword to mascara or something.

5) [Boy.pockets] 5-2-2011(): They were really getting smashed in the game. They subbed off one of their players who had been punched blue-black (black and blue). So they could not do as much damage to the next sub, they used a guy with black skin.
