tricolore

France's national banner

Tricolore is the Italian and French word for tricolor—a flag or design featuring three colors.

In English, it appears most often in culinary contexts: insalata tricolore is a salad of tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil echoing the Italian flag's red, white, and green.

The pasta tricolore came in three colors.
