Learn English – What does “black voice” mean

collocationmeaning-in-context

What does "black voice" mean? I've seen it in the Peter Pan book:

'Captain, let go,' he cried, writhing. Now for the first time we hear the voice of Hook. It was a black voice. 'Put back that pistol first,' it said threateningly.

In context the book is discussing the "black voice" of Hook. The expression is not a common one to my knowledge. However black is a color associated with doom and gloom. So I'd assume this to me that the voice was really scary and foreboding.
