Zebras
Described as a "horse in striped pajamas," three species of zebra inhabit Africa. They are equiids, which means they are members of the horse family and are odd-toed ungulates. Zebras inhabit tropical grasslands in sub-Saharan Africa. Social herd animals, they live in groups called harems. Their distinctive black and white stripes have made them a favorite of children for many generations.

How fast does a zebra have to run until it looks gray?
A zebra can run between 30 and 35 miles per hour. Or about 500 feet per second. (35 times 5280 feet divided by 60 minutes and divided by 60 seconds)
Depending on how close you were to it when it went by, it could be a gray blur. But even at fifty yards in front of you, your eyes would track and follow, so that the zebra would be "still" within your field of focus. And thus would not be gray.
Bear in mind that white and black frames have to be flickering at a rate of 60 frames per second before starting to gray out. And that zebra is moving faster than that. But the Zebra's isn't winking in and out, your eyes are attracted to motion first, and you automatically track it. Thus letting the image resolve as a "still" against a blurred background.

If you're referring to the stripes then the advantage comes when the zebra is part of a herd. Since the lions see in black and white, when the zebra is in a herd it's hard to know where one animal begins and the other ends. Thus lions for example can't pick out a target.
