pied
Having color patches
Pied means having patches of two or more colors, especially black and white.
The word appears most often in descriptions of animals: the pied wagtail, the Pied Piper's multicolored costume.
A pied horse grazed in the pasture.
The term is literary and somewhat old-fashioned outside fixed phrases.
