What happens to the black on normal stripes

[joann42]

Ive been looking at pics of normal/classic stripes and notice a lack of black,but on the tesseras there is plenty of black.
So why isnt there a black outline on the stripes?
Thanks

Stripe brightens the colors, same goes for Motley by the way, so they don't show as much black as a normal or normal tessera.

I would say that both stripe and motley delete the borders, whereas tessera keeps the borders, but in the tessera pattern.

Thanks. Thats too bad, a stripe with nice black borders would look awesome.Especially on some nice bright contrasting colors.
I really need to get a tessera one of these days.

Tessera stripes basically look like a stripe if it didn't lose the borders. It's one of my favorite patterns, really striking in certain colors.

That's why "people say" you can't create Okeetee or candy cane stripes (or motleys). You can, but you lose the border. I've got a Miami motley with black borders, though- El Wray.
