The flag's proportions are: 2:3 (2 in height, 3 in width)
each stripe has a width of one third of the total width of the flag.
The height is equal to the width of two stripes.
Basically you can draw a square and divide it vertically in the middle, you will have the two first stripes. Add the third one with the same width and the proportion is correct.

The French flag is the official French pavilion since 1794. It was drawn by Jacques Louis David, famous French painter, but it has its origins in July 1789. Shortly after the fall of the Bastille, the king visited the Paris town hall and was handed a blue and red cocard - the long-time colours of the town - which he put on his hat next to the white cocard (French kingdom emblem at the time), as a gesture towards the people of Paris. The three colours were used in different orders (blue-red-white for the scarf of public officials in 1790, white-red-blue in horizontal bands for the 'Fête de la Fédération' on the 14th of July 1790. In 1790 were also adopted new versions of ship's pavilions, despite some traditionalists arguing that because of the colours, it would resemble too much the Dutch flag. The flag was adopted officially by the Convention as the national flag only in 1794 (15th of February).

What is the colour sequence in 8 ball pool?
1-yellow, 2-blue, 3-red, 4-purple, 5-orange, 6-green, 7-maroon, 8-black, 9-yellow stripe, 10-blue stripe, 11-red stripe, 12-purple stripe, 13-orange stripe, 14-green stripe and the 15-maroon stripe. ADD: Technically this is incorrect. Eight ball pool simply describes a game where you shoot your balls in first, then the 8 ball last to win. So, each player has 7 balls to pot, and then the 8 ball. These 7 balls can be any colors, as long as the two groups are identifiable from each other. Yellow and red are used extensively, and there are endless variations for the 2 groups. Additionally, there is absolutely no requirement for "stripes" and "solids" , or numbers on the balls, so really this answer is completely misguided.
