jet-black coat
Darkest possible pelt
A jet-black coat is fur or hair covering an animal that is intensely, uniformly black—the deepest shade possible without any brown, gray, or other undertones.
The phrase appears most often in descriptions of horses, dogs, and cats, where coat color matters for breeding or show standards.
