"...the pattern is a result of pigment activation (black) and inhibition (white). That means black is the actual color of the fur, and the white patches are simply the areas that lack pigmentation. To top it off, most zebras have dark skin beneath their fur"
Does it really matter? People who say white on black have embryology on their side but the people who say black on white point to the white belly, where there are no stripes.
Actually it's B&W on skin colour.
