It seems that because skin color in humans is determined by more than just the X chromosomes in skin cells, this is not the case. However it is the case in some animals, such as cats, which is why calico cats look like they do.
If skin color in humans was due to solely that X chromosome, then yes, at least theoretically a person who's parents have different skin colors would present both of those colors along these patterns. It would probably be most noticable on mixed-race people but technically almost everyone would have something similar unless both of your parents had the exact same shade of skin color. I think it'd be cool!
