(E_ aa) black (Natural)

Category: Base Coat

Name: Black

Base Genotype: E_, aa

Skin Color: Dark

Eyes: Brown

Description: While some dark brown coats are mistaken for black, true black horses have coats that do not sunbleach or fade to brown. These horses typically have dark skin and brown eyes and a solid black coat that covers the entire body. Note that black horses have no copies of Agouti (they have two little a's, no big A's) since the Agouti gene would restrict the black pigment (E_) to the legs, mane, and tail- thus making a Bay horse instead of a Black horse. 

When colorpicking for a solid black coat, it's required that the black is lighter than the black used for the lineart.
