Perhaps try a weed burner or sand blaster?

Sand blasters sound expensive to rent. Are they?

I thought of a torch, but all that might do is burn a colored residue /into/
the alsphalt permanently.

You need to be more careful. In most states it is unlawful to do
*anything* to the road surface at all (even plow snow off), and I'm
sure that MA is one of the more strict states.

Write a letter to the town and then live with it.. but don't try to
remove or cover it yourself, or you may find yourself in as much
trouble as the 'graphic artist' who created that work of art in front
of your house!

Yep! Here in NH, it is:

Unlawful to plow a public road unless you have been authorized.
Unlawful to plow snow across a public road.
Unlawful to plow (shovel or blow) snow onto a public road.

And yes, I do have a plow truck... <g>

Now the truth be told, I've never heard of anyone getting ticketed for
properly plowing a public road without authorization (and I've done
it a couple of times to get stuck cars out), but technically is is
possible.

Why? When some idiot joker (like me!) comes along and plows the road
wrong (wrong width, puts the snow in the wrong places, etc.) it
creates problems for the DPW...
