It is patterned for some people: Freckles, moles, vitiligo, etc.

There are patterns we can't even perceive too.

For the purpose of answering the question though, I'd want chromataphors I can change at will!

My understanding is most odd us do have these patterns, we just can't see them.

Yep, there's a good chunk of the light spectrum we can't perceive and so the patterns that reflect them are invisible to us.
