Changing light blue anodized seat post to black

+++

I just received a new anodized aluminum seatpost for my bike and discovered the seatpost is light blue which doesn't match my bike color and would like to change it to black. What's the easiest way?

No easy way to change the anodize color per se. Suggest going over the surface with a wide-tipped permanent marker pen, e.g., a "Sharpie."
