\"Mottled\"Mottled<\/strong> it's a adjective<\/strong> which derives from variegated<\/strong>, a verb that refers to combining colors in the wrong way or to piling up heterogeneous elements without coherence. Somewhat variegated, therefore, exhibits different shades without combination<\/strong> or gather multiple unequal things<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example: \"The actor's motley wardrobe surprised the press\"<\/em>, \"I was struck by the motley landscape of the city, which is full of multicolored buildings\"<\/em>, \"The motley text that this journalist published is impossible to understand since it is incoherent\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Using this concept<\/strong> It is not very frequent. It must be taken into account that the qualification made by the adjective has a negative connotation<\/strong>: the word indicates that there is something that is not well combined or that lacks harmony<\/strong>. If someone mentions that the appearance of a celebrity at a certain event was \"mottled\"<\/em>, you are referring to a little conventional<\/strong> or far from the current rules of style. It would be different if it were described as elegant, to cite one of the opposite possibilities.<\/p>\n

The use of colors to complement the appearance of a person is usually present in her clothes, in her makeup and in her hair<\/strong>. It is possible, therefore, to speak of a variegated makeup to refer to an overly charged and unharmonious combination of colors, something very typical of those people who have no experience in the use of these products and in the different recommended techniques, but also by those who use quantities<\/strong> exaggerated in their eagerness to hide certain facial defects or signs of aging.<\/p>\n

A motley appearance can be characteristic of an extravagant person; let's not forget that the term extravagant<\/strong><\/em> it is defined as something or someone that is not within the realm of normality, and that does not have a negative connotation in itself. Each social group reacts in a different way to individuals who stand out for their appearance or their way of acting: while extravagances may be admired by some, others may condemn them.<\/p>\n

\"Mottled\"An adjective that approximates mottled<\/em> in meaning but lacking any negative connotation is motley<\/strong>. It is a term used to denote the variety<\/strong> of characteristics or elements that a place or a group of people or objects present, among other possibilities. For example, we can say that the city we visited during the holidays was diverse, or that the audience present at a concert was diverse, and in both cases the variety is perceived in a positive way.<\/p>\n

The second meaning of the notion is linked to the difficulty or inability to reconcile items that are very different from each other<\/strong>. Suppose a newspaper rates a political alliance as a \"Motley electoral front\"<\/em>: the author of the note will be highlighting that the front consists of people<\/strong> with dissimilar ideas. Therefore, an eventual government of this alliance could face multiple internal problems. As can be seen, this use of variegated is rather symbolic or metaphorical, since the differences are not color or physical.<\/p>\n

Although dictionaries only include the two meanings just mentioned of the term motley, there is a third that is not uncommon to find in the press or even in literature: \"crowded, full.\" It is important to make it clear that it is a error<\/strong>, which probably arose from the resemblance to the word crowded<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This idea of \u200b\u200boverabundance or crowding that is mistakenly associated with the term mottled<\/em> has not arisen in a way whimsical<\/strong>, but largely because of their true meanings, since the combination of heterogeneous elements or dissonant colors can only be carried out by force<\/strong>, joining the elements without paying attention to the result.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
