Probably because it's similar to verde

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] Drusas@kbin.run 26 points 2 years ago

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

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That seems to be the verdict so far

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, verde good.

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