If you shave a zebra's fur off you will see that the skin pigmentation underneath is a light pink where the white stripes are and more of a darker color where the black stripes are, that's why the hair in the pink skin grows in whtie and the hair in the dark skin grows in dark. So - it's just an animal with stripes, not one or the other.

A zebra is white with black stripes because it has a white stomach

We will never know whether it is a white zebra with black stripes or a black zebra with white stripes. But the foals are brownish instead of white

Zebras are White with Black Stripes and the pattern of the stripes are not the same on each animal!

It depends on your perspective. Zebra skin is black, but depending on the color variation, you could have more black or white stripes. Also, the black strips are (in most species) not on their belly. So if you go by fur, it is white with black strips. If you go by their skin color, they are black with white stripes. (Look at the skin color of any animal, pink skin is a mostly white animal and black skin is mostly darker furred animals, in most instances)

They are white with black stripes. Sometime you may see variations of zebras with brown instead of black stipes.

Well, I'm not sure but horses for example have dark gray skin, usually. That's why you can see a pretty white horse with deep set dark gray eyes, and nose. If it's like that, then the zebra is black and white on gray.

Zebras are indeed greyish... but if you're really concerned... I'd say they're black on white, considering the pure white zebra born a few years ago. :D
