GR translation: coaltar-impossible orange-brown

[Monte Davis]

​Coal tar itself is black​ or dark brown. In the 1830s it yielded aniline,
from which chemists synthesized a host of dyes (starting with Perkin's
famous mauve). Those drove the growth of the German chemical industry, and
are linked both to drugs like Oneirine and to GR's geomythology of coal
strata, etc -- see V166

So many colors came from coal tar that I take "coaltar-impossible" to be in
this context a sign of counter-magic: a shade that this apparently
omnipotent technology *can't* produce
