Black in Kentucky (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inky

'black' is the definition.
('inky' can be similar in meaning to 'black')

'in kentucky' is the wordplay.
'kentucky' becomes 'ky'.
'in'+'ky'='INKY'

(Other definitions for inky that I've seen before include "Like writing fluid" , "Black; drunk (Aus. sl.)" , "Completely dark" , "Leaked on by pen" , "Dark; stained" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
