Before the revolution didn't the flag used to be blue with those yellow things on it? Which during napoleons period was turned into the yellow things on a white flag?
I know the red and blue were the colors of paris, white symbolizing the king, but has any combination of 2 from those 3 been used in france on itself.
WAG: Red
Just listen to their National Anthem sometime.
Like I said, it's a 'wag.' :)

white, i think...^^
Yup, it's white.
Some info on this question:
n July of 1789, just before the storming of the Bastille, a militia was created in Paris to keep peace in the city. Their distinctive sign was a rosette, in the traditional red and blue colours of Paris. On July 17, three days after the storming of the Bastille, Louis XVI travelled to Paris wearing the blue and red rosette, as a sign of compassion for the people. Army General Lafayette later added the royal white, and was the first to wear the three colours in this manner.
