This is what I got with the following code
enter image description here

documentclassstandalone
usepackagetikz

begindocument

begintikzpicture

fill[blue!20] (90:4) -- (210:4) -- (-30:4);
fill[white] (90:4) -- (190:2.6) -- (-10:2.6) ;

endtikzpicture

enddocument

I wonder how to remove borders in fill. Thanks

Edited

Using the solution given by @Ulrike Fischer, I get something like this

enter image description here

documentclassstandalone
usepackagetikz

begindocument

begintikzpicture

fill[blue!20] (90:4) -- (210:4) -- (-30:4) -- cycle;
fill[white, draw = white, thick] (90:4) -- (190:2.6) -- (-10:2.6) --cycle; 

fill[green!20] (90:4) -- (190:2.6) -- (-10:2.6) -- cycle ;
fill[white, draw = white, thick] (90:4) -- (155:2) -- (25:2) -- cycle;


endtikzpicture

enddocument

This appends extra space between two pieces.

Have you tried draw=none?

Yes, I tried draw = none but without any success. Any thoughts.

In your original code, you don't have borders. The the border effect is generated because the blue triangle is drawn first then the white triangle (which has smaller dimensions) is drawn on top of it, hence a border is generated. You can achieve your desired output by slightly changing your coordinates:

documentclassstandalone
usepackagetikz

begindocument
 begintikzpicture
 fill[blue!20] (90:4) -- (210:4) -- (-30:4);
 fill[white] (90:4.5) -- (190:2.615) -- (-10:2.615) ;
 endtikzpicture
enddocument

Output

Now for @Ulrike Fischer answer, though it is good and unique, the same problem occurs. The solution requires to draw 4 distinct shapes (one is overdrawn by two triangles which is giving resulting in that border effect). Try to comment fill[white, draw = white, thick] (90:4) -- (190:2.6) -- (-10:2.6) --cycle; and change your colors to solid blue, red and black (for better visualization) and you will see a better result, but the problem persists at a lower significance.

Thanks @Ulrike for useful answer. Now if I add fill[green!20] (90:4) -- (190:2.6) -- (-10:2.6) -- cycle ; fill[white, draw = white, thick] (90:4) -- (155:2) -- (25:2) -- cycle;, then I get extra space between two pieces. Any thoughts.

Then I would start to consider not to do the drawing by superimposing triangles. This pixel artefact are hard to come by.
