A tricolour ("three colours") is a Flag or Banner more-or-less equally divided (horizontally, vertically, or, less frequently, diagonally) into three bands of differing Colour s. The term is somewhat misleading, as many tricolours have ''more'' than three colours, as they are often Charged with contrasting emblems (the Flag Of India as a prominent example). Besides carrying an emblem, another means by which a tricolour may have more than three colours is through the use of , Kenya , North Korea , and Gambia . One of the first tricolours and the oldest tricolour still in use today is the Flag Of The Netherlands ; one of the first vertical tricolours is the ''tricolore'' of France . VARIETY OF TRIBAND The tricolour is a specific type of Triband . In a triband, the design is of three vertical, horizontal, or diagonal stripes, often formed — from an heraldic point of view — by the placement of a horizontal or vertical stripe (a Pale or a Fess , respectively), over a background. The triband may thus have two stripes of the same colour split by a stripe of a second colour (examples of this include the flags of Austria , Canada , and Spain ). In a tricolour, the two outer stripes are of different colours. They can thus be seen as a subset of tribands. ADDITIONAL MEANINGS Vexillologist s also occasionally describe flags of which the main element is three stripes as being "based on a tricolour (or triband) design". Flags such as the Flag Of The Bahamas and the Palestinian Flag fall into this category. Some vexillologists take the meaning of the term at its barest, and simply use it to describe any flag containing just three colours, irrespective of the design. Thus, the flags of the United States and the United Kingdom might be described as tricolours. EXAMPLES |
