Shirley is correct but at this time of year it is most likely frost damage.
one of mine is showing this and it s 2 weeks since we had a sharp frost.

Julia, I found this info:
A clematis leaf may appear multi-colored due to several reasons, including green petal disorder (a transient issue related to cold temperatures) and certain varieties naturally exhibiting green markings or leaf-like patterns on their petals. Other possibilities include clematis slime flux, powdery mildew, or even diseases like clematis wilt.
