Most white with black spots or most black with white spots. However you want to look at it. Some carry a recessive gene that makes them red instead of black. Those are called Red Holstein. Not really creative but effective description.

∙ 14y agoHolstein cows are mostly black and white, yes, but there are a few cows that can be all white with little hints of black, or all black with little hints of white. Red and white holstien cows can be found too, though these are rare in the conventional dairy industry because they tend to not give as good quality and quantity of milk as the black-and-white holsteins are.

What are some disadvantages of red and white Holstein?
The red and white Holstein is a color variation in Holstein cattle as a whole. There are still some breeders that select for this color trait (the Red and White Dairy Cattle Association). The disadvantage of red color is that there are several alleles for red color at the Extension site:Wild Type Red (E+), Black/red (E br) (calves born red but turn black at 3-6 months also called Telstar) and recessive red (e). There is also a Dominant Red allele that is not associated with the extension locus which over rides all alleles at the extension site.Each of the red alleles creates a slightly different color of red and this makes the possibilities for true breeding animals of each red color allele both interesting and problematic.Any other issues are associated with the entire Holstein breed and is not linked to any one color.
