Alto Blue name?

[Gconk]

Does anyone have any insight as to where the name alto blue came from or why it was chosen? In Spanish it generally means high or tall, but in English it generally refers to the highest adult singing voice. Just wondering because it seems like such an odd name for a darkish blue color.

I call it Alto Black. I would not be surprised if it means "Alternative to Blue".

Doesn't Alto in Spanish mean STOP
