The the plain triband is the bandera nacional, confirmed as the 
pabellón nacional by Decree No. 1323 of 31 March 1950.
Christopher Southworth, 05 Oct 2003
According to the Peruvian Ministry of External Relations (at 
www.rree.gob.pe/simbolos/bandera.htm), 
this is the bandera nacional para izar (national flag for hoisting).
Plain red-white-red triband; for use on private buildings, houses, vessels, 
factories, etc., on patriotic holidays and as directed by law or special 
decree. (See also the other three national flags: 
pabellón nacional para izar,
bandera de guerra and 
estandarte.)

According to [a8m86] the 
flag without arms is used as civil flag and ensign, whereas the 
flag with arms is used as 
state and war flag/ensign. Both the flag and the arms have been 
adopted by law on 
25/2/1825.

In Peru, I’ve been told, every citizen has to fly a national flag on 
national day, too. Doesn’t matter how poor a hut is, every building is 
flying the national flag.

According to the 
English 
Wikipedia, this would be July 28-29th, a 
two-day official patriotic celebration.

The protocol manual for the 
London 2012 Olympics
	(Flags and Anthems Manual 
London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations 
for national flag designs. Each 
NOC
	was sent an image of the flag, including the 
PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced 
a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may 
not be the official, government, version of each flag, they are certainly what 
the NOC
	believed the flag to be. 
For Peru: PMS 186 red. The vertical flag is simply the horizontal version turned 
90 degrees clockwise.

The Constitution defines the flag, but doesn’t give any illustration and color specification:
congreso.gob.pe (Article 49): "The symbols of the
Nation are the flag with three vertical stripes in red, white, and red; the coat of arms, and the national hymn, as established by law."
The Flag Manual - Beijing 2008 gives Pantone colors: PMS 032 (red), PMS 102 (yellow), PMS 355 (green), PMS 292 (blue), PMS 440 (brown), and PMS Black.
The Album des Pavillons 2000 [pay00] gives approximate colors in Pantone and CMYK systems:

MARCHA DE BANDERAS
Arriba, arriba, arriba el Perú
y su enseña gloriosa inmortal,
llevad en alto siempre
la bandera nacional.Tal la llevaron con gloria y honor,
héroes peruanos de invencible ardor.Arriba, arriba siempre la bandera nacional.
Es la bandera del Perú,
de rojo y blanco color,
cual llamarada de amor,
que en Ayacucho y en Junín
victoriosa amaneció con el
sol de la Libertad!!!
