Black and others colors that do not mix together at the skin.
As you can see from the examples below, a marble coat is striped like a tabby cat or in some cases the coat is patchy like a calico cat.
What makes a champagne marble and not just a champagne with a black mask and black tipping for instance is that at the skin the colors will defiantly be separate and not mixed together.
These are some examples:
Sable Brindle/marble
Sterling Brindle/Marble
Black Brindle/Marble
