Mottle is a word that we use to describe something that is marked with spots or patches of different colors or shades. Let's say you have a beautiful painting with a tree in it. If the colors on the leaves of the tree are not all the same, but instead have spots of different shades, we can say that the leaves are mottled. It's like when you look up at the sky during a cloudy day and you notice that it's not just one solid color, but there are patches of different shades of gray. That's what mottled means! It's when something has a pattern of spots or patches of color that are not the same.
