I immediately pictured a red zebra with black stripes. I think it's because, if you were to spray red die on to a zebra, the white would turn red, and the black would remain black. Seems more logical to me.

yeah, but did you think of the cooler one first?
i myself pictured a red and white one, i guess red being a relatively dark color would replace the black.

Well when you say a zebra with red stripes, it is most logical that one would first think of the zebra and then replace the black stripes with red ones.
However, I read it too fast and it translated as "red zebra" to my mind, which sounds like it refers to the entire animal being red. Thus, I saw a red animal, and then added the black zebra stripes.
So because I am lazy and read too fast the zebra is definately red and black.

When I think of the colors of a zebra I think of it as white with black stripes so, in my mind, if a zebra had red stripes it would still be white.
I like Per's answer the best so far, though.

I started thinking about whether the Solid Color layer would be set to 'Overlay' or 'Multiply'...

Red and White for ultimate contrast, I had a similar fantasy this weekend about if a breed of Arabian horses could produce a pink horse and how much money you could sell them for.
Also I liked Per's answer and Jzero's rofl!

Since a Zebra is a white (actually light grey I think) animal with black stripes, if I saw a zebra with red stripes it would still be a white animal. Thus Red and white.
Of course I never would see a zebra with red stripes, so it's a moot point and I'll go with Per's answer instead, but rather less elegantly.
Tits.

Funny, when I worked with them, the stripes were more like a dark metallic blue/purple, a bit like a crows feather.
Mr Ed was a zebra.

i worked on an exotic animal farm for a summer, and helped raise a baby male and baby female zebra. Im fairly certain a zebra with red stripes would also still have black stripes, so it would be black white AND red.

I gotta slow down when reading posts. Poop, I thought I first read your post as: i worked on an exotic farm animal for a summer, DUH!
I had to re-read it three times.
A zebra is a horse of course of course, talk to Mr Rick. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
