Probably because it's similar to verde

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

[–] Cosmicomical 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Vermiglio is also red in italian, maybe verdaccio

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

Yup. My first thought, "Because it sounds like verdant."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That seems to be the verdict so far

[–] RampantParanoia2365 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, verde good.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

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