According to [alv86],
on August 15,
1812, the variety of
the flags in use was replaced by the long tri-color, red-white-blue,
with the white stripe slightly wider than the other two. That flag became a
model for the first codified flag of the Paraguayan
Republic introduced by the General Congress on November 25, 1842, which paid
tribute officially to the ideals of the French
Revolution.

The flag of 1812 is supposed to have unequal stripes, with the white
stripe «slightly wider». The exact width of the stripes was not
given by [alv86].
Chrystian Kretowicz, 15 May 2002
The flag was in use since 1812 with equal stripes and without arms.
In 1826 a new flag was introduced, but the
tricolored was kept as an alternate flag. But when Dr Francia died in 1840
all garrisons hoisted his blue flag and forgot about the triclored until
1842.

The earliest mention of a red-white-blue tricolor in Paraguay seems
to date from 15 August 1812. This bore on one side
the arms of the capital city, Asunción, and on the other those of the
King of Spain.
