* Coat Color vs. Skin Color: Horse coat color is determined by the pigments in their hair, not their skin. Arabian horses, like all horses, have black skin, but the pigment in their hair can create a variety of colors.
* Common Arabian Colors: Arabian horses can be many colors, including:
* Bay: Brown body with black points (mane, tail, legs)
* Chestnut: Reddish-brown body with black points
* Grey: Born dark, but lighten with age to become silver, steel grey, or white.
* Black: Completely black
* Buckskin: Golden body with black points
* Palomino: Golden body with white mane and tail
So, the answer to your question is that Arabian horses can be any of these colors, despite having black skin.
