it depends on each Zebra, you must count the strips to know.
if the black are the most, then its a black zebra.. and vice verse
some times when a Black zebra mates with a white zebra, they have a mix..
some black, some white and some are neither..

some times there is a rare case that the zebra has and equal number of black and white strips, this zebra will be the new king for his territory

NEITHER.
Zebras are found mostly in Africa.
Most Africans think zebras are black with white stripes. But it is NOT TRUE.
Zebra's SKIN COLOR IS MOSTLY BLACK.
But What we see are rows of white and black hair. & NOT the SKIN lying under the thickly-matted hair.
Zebra is BLACK & NEVER WHITE in colour. It is what it looks like because of its WHITE & BLACK STRIPES of HAIR covering the Black Skin.

Are Zebras White with Black Stripes or Black with White Stripes?
It is generally believed that zebras are dark animals, with white stripes where the pigmentation is inhibited. The pigment of the hair is found solely in the hair and not in the skin. The reasons for thinking that they were originally pigmented animals are that (1) white horses would not survive well in the African plains or forests; (2) there used to be a fourth species of zebra, the quagga (which was overeaten to extinction in the eighteen hundreds). The quagga had the zebra striping pattern in the front of the animal, but had a dark rump; (3) when the region between the pigmented bands becomes too wide, secondary stripes emerge, as if suppression was weakening.
Zebra stripes have often been thought to be an adaptation that prevents zebras from being seen by predators such as lions or hyenas. (This hypothesis goes back at least to Rudyard Kipling [1908]). The alternating stripes obscure the outline of the zebra. This may serve as camoflage, allowing the zebra to blend in with its backgound (Thayer, 1909; Marler and Hamilton, 1968) and/or it may serve to confuse a predator as to the distance of the fleeing animal (Cott, 1957; Kruuk, 1972). However, neither of these hypotheses can be easily confirmed. A different hypothesis (Waage, 1981) contends that the stripes serve to obliterate a large single-colored region that is favored by biting insects such as the tsetse fly. These flies prefer large, dark, moving animals (Vale, 1974).
