Default Coloration Question

Is this black stripe on the paw a representation of a specific color, or is it a GSD standard marking?

Hondo has this stripe on all four paws, and dark hairs going up the back of the legs. I'm curious if this is normal (Black & Tan) coloration, or is it something else.

i think it's coloring. it adds to Hondo being
unique. my dog is blk&red and he has it slightly
on his front paws. when i went to check his
rear paws my dog got excited and started
spinning around, licking me, stepping in place, lol.
so i hugged him, he licked me more and then
he went into the bedroom and jumped on the bed with my GF.

I just tried taking a pic of Molly's trotter but battery flat...she has a similar marking but washed out. Mind you, she is the wonky donkey after all!

Is Miss Molly considered a black and tan?
