I believe the answer is:

tricolour

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'typical french standard' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tricolour that I've seen before include "French national flag" , "Having or involving three colours" , "Standard of French perhaps" .)
