It really makes no difference. The pattern is there to help an individual zebra blend in with the rest of the herd.
The thinking is that zebra are dark colored with white stripes. There is an evolutionary and ecological reason for that. But, just think about it. Which horse would have fewer chances of being detected? A white one or a black one?

White with black stripes. Look at the back end of a zebra, where the stripes end and you will see that the stripeless hair is white.

watch its back, the color at the back is usually the cammo "layer".
anyway the practical usage of this knowledge remains unrevealed to me.
I think they are white with black stripes rather than black with white stripes.
never saw a balck yebra with black stripes. that is called a "horse".

Contrary to popluar belief, they are black with white strips, only that their white strips are thicker than the space between them.
They are completely black before developing the strips when they are fetuses.
