pattern

The decorative motif printed, woven, or dyed across a product's surface (solid, striped, printed, plaid, floral, colour-block, tie-dye) — a universal cross-kind merchandising facet, like colour and material, that a buyer filters and chooses by. It is the structural reason a single garment version can carry MANY colours (a striped or tie-dye version states several colour values where a solid states one), so it sits beside colour on root Product. Descriptive, not a buyable axis: a solid tee and a striped tee are different styles/listings, not version-variants toggled in one buy-box.
