tiger-striped

Orange with black

Tiger-striped describes a pattern of parallel dark stripes on a lighter background, resembling the markings of a tiger: tiger-striped cat, tiger-striped wallpaper.

The pattern need not be orange—any contrasting colors with bold, irregular bands qualify: The sunset left tiger-striped clouds across the sky.
