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?
this is why Italians have to speak so quickly, and supplement their words with gestures.
Why use many noise when few noise do trick?
Like blu-u-u?
Rojo is Spanish for red. Bermellón is Spanish for vermilion.
Yup. My first thought, "Because it sounds like verdant."
That seems to be the verdict so far
Yes, verde good.
I thought "She must be french. It does start like vert".
Also sounds like chameleon, which are most commonly pictured in green.
