French Flag Colors, Meaning, and History

One of the oldest and most influential flags in existence, the French flag is deeply symbolic. It drew on a few different sources for its inspiration: the royal French army, the storming of the Bastille, and ancient French folklore. In the days before the French Revolution, the royal French flag consisted of a golden fleur-de-lis and a blue shield on a white background, from which the modern flag took its royal shade of blue. 

The Paris militia famously wore red-and-blue knotted ribbons (sewn on their hats) into battle during the French Revolution. And lastly, according to French folklore and military legend, white was “the ancient and original color of France.” With these three colors, the national flag was born and adopted as the official flag of France in 1790 and modified in 1794.

The iconic tricolor pattern has been famously borrowed and used as the basis for the flags of hundreds of nations across the globe. The French flag today is rich with revolutionary spirit and is often flown proudly on Bastille Day.
