splotchiness

Irregular color distribution

Splotchiness is the quality of having irregular patches or spots of different colors or tones.

The word most often describes skin conditions—uneven coloring, redness, or discoloration: The cream reduced the splotchiness on her cheeks.

It can also apply to paint, dye, or any surface with patchy, uneven coverage.
