Word origin

The term 'tricolour' originates from the French word 'tricolore', which literally means 'three colors'. The word was first used in the context of flags during the late 18th century, popularized by the French Revolution. The tricolour flag took on a significant political meaning during this period, as it symbolized the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The French tricolour, featuring blue, white, and red, became a model for many other countries. Over time, the concept of a tricolour has expanded to represent not just national flags, but also other banners, emblems, and insignias that feature three distinct colors. The design often embodies important cultural or historical narratives associated with the colors utilized.
