a richer variegated effect

Lisa: I'm tossing this out here as an option because an author I just worked with insisted that matizar = to give variegations (in color). I'm not sure what she based it on, but she's a bilingual expert in her field, so I trust her.

Merriam-Webster's define variegation: the act of variegating : the state of being variegated; especially : diversity of colors
