Triband (flag)

A triband flag is a type of flag design characterized by three horizontal or vertical bands of color. This design is one of the most common and recognizable flag patterns globally.

The three bands are typically of equal width, although variations exist. The colors used can be symbolic, representing different aspects of a nation, region, or organization, such as historical events, cultural values, or natural resources. The arrangement and colors of a triband flag are often chosen to be distinct and memorable.

Variations on the basic triband design can include the addition of emblems, symbols, or coats of arms in the center of the flag or within one of the bands. These additions further contribute to the flag's symbolism and identity.

While relatively simple in construction, the triband design offers considerable flexibility in color combinations and symbolism, contributing to its widespread adoption across various nations and organizations.
