Probably because it's similar to verde

Much more similar to "vermelho" which is "red" in Portuguese

Vermiglio is also red in italian, maybe verdaccio

I mean, why would the other two spend three or more syllables on a primary color, anyway?

Rojo is Spanish for red. Bermellón is Spanish for vermilion.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That seems to be the verdict so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yes, verde good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I thought "She must be french. It does start like vert".

Also sounds like chameleon, which are most commonly pictured in green.
