mottled

"But by the pool among the mottled sycamores, a pleasant shade had fallen."
chapter 6, page 97, Penguin Books

Mottled means spotted or blotched with different shades or colors.

  1. According to wordnet.web.princeton.edu/per1/webwn it says dappled: having spots or patches of color. I have also heard this word used to talk about someones hair.
