• Coat Color: Deep and vivid red, mostly even in tone across the body.  Should be robust in both saturation in value, and clearly a primary color; the coat should not appear too purple, and should not contain brown or orange at all. Black stockings that reach the knees/hocks (or higher) and blend into the coat color.
• Mane and Tail Color: Black.
• Skin Color: Black or dark gray.
• Eye Color: Black or dark red.
• Hoof Color:  Solid black or dark gray.

Genotype: E_/A_/Tp_ (Tapestry on Bay)
Locus:  Cream, Tapestry, Pearl

Acceptable Variations:

• Dip-Dyed: The topline of the horse may be 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 legs, mane, and tail must remain black.
• Wild Madder: Like wild bay, the black on legs is visible only on the joints. The coat must be brighter red, rather than dark.

Interactions:

• Pangare: Black stockings and mane/tail remain solid black.
• Sooty: Sooty may present as totally black instead of dark brown.
• Flaxen: Flaxen is not visible on black-based (EE or Ee) coats.
