Hey, just to show you, here are her white/cream-colored stripes and patterns.

I honestly still don't see it. What you're describing as "stripes" just look like highlights to me. Maybe there's something with the topmost panel in Comic Stripes.png, but they aren't consistent across panels. She seems to have green in her mouth tentacles too, but then that's gone in the bottom panel.

Bernie's face there has a similar effect, with lines and splotches of color to indicate light and shading. But I wouldn't call him "striped" lol.

I've gone and circled what are obvious reflections and traced with red what I think are her stripes. Honestly the reason I believe it is because (if we assume some other crustaecean isn't going to show up in Rome) the same coloration is visible on her leg in the trailer shot, and it looks way too close to some coloration on a few crabs and nautiluses. The stripes on her back legs shrouded in dust feel way to bold for shading. If this doesn't convince, oh well, but figured I'd give it one more shot.

I will defintely agree with the fact that the art in this comic was not consistant at all though, which doesn't make it easy to determine much when there are earlier panels that lack the percieved patterns :/

I agree that there's some kind of deliberate choice in the way her body is being colored, but it's impossible to tell if it's meant to be literally part of her exoskeleton or just the way that the sun is reflecting off of it. And I still wouldn't describe them as stripes anyhow.

If you go to the penultimate page of the Godzilla storyline (I assume you have the PDF), it suddenly looks like she has lime green patterns instead of white, and they're not at all the same shape or in the same locations as that topmost panel in the image you attached. I really don't think we should commit to saying it's a part of her design.

They're likely nothing more than just highlights, as Les pointed out. I doubt Scylla will end up being a zebra once the movie is released.
