• Coat Color: Dark, deep blue, mostly even in tone across the entire body.  Should be robust in both saturation in value, and clearly a primary color; the coat should not appear too green nor too purple, and must be dark.
• Mane and Tail Color: Same color as the coat. Slightly lighter or slightly darker than the coat is acceptable.
• Skin Color: Black or dark gray.
• Eye Color: Black, gray, or indigo.
• Hoof Color:  Solid black or dark gray.

Genotype: E_/aa/Tp_ (Tapestry on Black)
Locus:  Cream, Tapestry, Pearl

Acceptable Variations:

• Dip-Dyed: The topline of the horse may be very slightly darker or lighter, and/or slightly different in hue. The color shift should be very subtle, and should blend into the base coat gradually. The roots of the mane and tail may match the change and blend gradually to the base coat at the ends.

Interactions:

• Pangare: Unlike regular black, pangare will lighten Woad.
• Sooty: Unlike regular black, sooty will darken Woad. Sooty can appear black instead of darker blue.
