Verde is also green in Spanish. A quick translation tells me that in Latin it's Viridis which makes it make sense that it's similar in most Latin based languages.

A fancy word for green in English is Viridian

It's actually the name of a bluish green pigment not just a fancy work for green.

Vermillion also comes from Latin, Vermiculus. Mainly used in Portuguese as vermelho for red.
