"What is the color, when black is burned?"
My "educated guess: The child that is in Neil Young, as well as, to some extent, every child, when they first experience a form of destruction, is frightened. Here, the child is exploring the scary landscape of that aspect of life and is looking to a caring adult to assure him or her that everything is alright. Perhaps, as phisherofsouls also suggests, it has to do with the breakthrough of ashes being lighter than the black material they began as... nice thought...
