splotched

Marked with patches

Splotched means marked with splotches—irregular spots or patches of color, stain, or discoloration.

The word suggests uneven, messy marking rather than deliberate pattern: a splotched tablecloth, skin splotched with sunburn, walls splotched with mold.

Something splotched looks stained or mottled.
