You can make the lines then clip them with a copy of the triangle or similar and have that above the coloured triangle. There currently is no vector fill available, at least to my knowledge.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Which app are you using?

If you are using Affinity Designer 

You need to expand the stroke: (main menu at the top of the affinity app) Layer Expand Stroke, basically you are converting them from a curve/path that has a stroke into a thin shape that has a fill and can also have a stroke. Once you have expanded the stroke, you can boolean add them Layer > Geometry  > Add and the subtract the shape from the lines.

Another method if you are using Affinity Designer is to create a compound, the beauty in this is everything is still editable.

Thanks! Yes, I tried this way. But when I try cut (subtract) triangle from merged lines, lines and triangle is disappearing.

Note that clipping is different from subtracting. Study the Layer panel in the example above by @gdenby, paying attention to the indentation of the layers below the 'parent' trapezoid layer.

It may also help to watch the Affinity Photo - Masking vs clipping layers video tutorial (it works the same in Affinity Designer & Affinity Publisher).

Hello, again, Rolandas,

The "boolean" operation, such as add or subtract, can only work when a curve can enclose an area. My example is made from many thin rectangles. Expanding a stroke will make something similar, but often adds many un-needed nodes. 

The boolean operations will work on those thin rectangle groups. BTW, they were made by "power duplication," so after making the first line-like thin rectangle allows many repetions in just moments.
