Abstract
⺠Modulation solutions for three interacting solitary waves of three different wave-lengths (colours) in a nematic liquid crystal, so-called nematicons, are derived. ⺠Equations for positions of nematicons analogous to equations for gravitating masses. ⺠Solutions are analogous to the Lagrange triangle solution of Newtonian mechanics. ⺠Nematicon triangle solutions not an equilateral triangle due to form of potential. ⺠Triangle configuration shown to be stable to diffractive radiation losses.
