Triband Flags (Two Colors, Three Stripes)

Flags composed of three alternating stripes of two colors (A-B-A pattern), either horizontal or vertical, including the historic banners of Austria, Peru, Latvia, Argentina, and Canada.

Unlike a tricolor which features three distinct colors (A-B-C), a triband repeats the outer color (A-B-A). When the central band is twice as wide as the outer bands (1:2:1), it forms a Canadian pale (Canada) or Spanish fess (Spain).
