MOTTLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Mottles refer to distinctive patterns or spots of color or texture that are unevenly distributed over a surface. The term is commonly used to describe the presence of patches, splotches, or streaks on various materials or substances, including fabrics, paints, minerals, or biological organisms.
In the context of fabrics, mottles may appear as irregular and differently shaded areas, often blending multiple colors or shades. These irregularities can occur naturally in certain textiles or carpets, or they can be intentionally created through dyeing or printing techniques to achieve a special effect or enhance the visual appeal of the fabric.
In the realm of visual arts, mottles can also refer to the distribution of hues or tones across a two-dimensional surface, such as a painting or print. Artists might deliberately incorporate mottles to add depth, create movement, or evoke specific emotions in their artwork.
The term mottles can also be employed to describe the irregular patterns often found in minerals or rocks due to a mixture of different elements or impurities during their formation. It is frequently used in geology and earth sciences to characterize the appearance and composition of various geological specimens.
Lastly, mottles can be observed in living organisms, particularly in the animal kingdom. They might manifest as spot-like patterns or variations in color on the skin, fur, feathers, or scales of certain species, serving as camouflage, warning signals, or aesthetic features.

Etymology of MOTTLES
The word "mottles" derives from the noun "mottle", which dates back to the late 16th century.
