Tricolour (flag)

A tricolour is a kind of flag that has three different colors on it. Think of it like a rainbow with three colors instead of many colors. The colors are usually arranged in stripes that run horizontally, which means they go side to side instead of up and down.

To make a tricolour, you need to start with a big piece of fabric in one of the colors you want to use. Then you add two more pieces of fabric that are different colors, and they each need to be the same size as the first piece. Once you have all three pieces of fabric, you sew them together along the edges so they become one big piece of fabric with three different colors.

People use tricolour flags for different reasons. Sometimes a tricolour flag is the official flag of a country or region, and it represents their culture and history. Other times, people create their own tricolour flags to show support for a cause or group they believe in.

Overall, tricolour flags are a colorful way to show pride and unity, and they come in many different designs and color combinations.
