patterned
Not plain colored
Patterned describes something decorated with a repeated design or motif: a patterned scarf, patterned wallpaper.
It can also mean following a particular model or example: behavior patterned after his father's.
The word implies regularity—whether in visual design or in how something is structured or arranged.
