I've been looking at Germanic heraldry and found references for three black diamonds in the 15th century. These in turn are linked to colors in blue and yellow. Of course, I could be totally off.

With the film common at the time, it's possible the light stripes are blue and the dark are yellow

Actually, there are quite a few WWI autochrome photos online. Trouble is, it was a French process, so not many German scenes. And not many aircraft either.
