stripes
A facade color pattern of roughly parallel bands, which may run straight, curve, turn, or form concentric rings.
Stripes are parallel bands of different colors or shades. They may be arranged in any direction on a surface, and can even curve or turn as long as they remain roughly parallel; they can take the form of zig-zags or concentric rings. The various colors of the stripes may contrast sharply or be similar. Stripes can also be two alternating colors or a full rainbow of different colors.
The bands need not be straight. Curves, zigzags, and concentric rings are included while the bands remain roughly parallel.
Two alternating colors are expressly included alongside a wider palette. Similar shades can form stripes without sharply contrasting hues.
