Chameleons are green. Verde is green. Vermillion is green 100%

Chameleons are green

So, like, chameleons do this thing, right, where they don't feel like being green for a bit =P

So I guess Vermillion is green maybe 90% of the time

I would be happy for it to switch places with Chartreuse, which feels strongly like a red word and is definitely not a bright yellow-green

Rukmer ,

Completely agree, came here to say this.

Chartreuse as well tbh, just the other way around.

You just need to drink more fancy alcohol and associate it with the liqueur it's named after.

I'm finding this out now from this post.

When people named flowers as 'Vermillion' I assumed the stems and leaves were some weird shade that I wasn't recognizing.

I had a hard time reading the post since I thought vermillion was green so it took a couple tries

That's because you're a dog, and we can't see red.

I mean, they, you, can't see red.

For me, this word is associated with red

I played too much "Sword of Vermilion" on Sega Genesis to have this particular issue.

Viridian, vermilion, and verdigris. That’s why it feels green.

I first learned the word from the Vermilion Flycatcher, which is a bright red bird

I feel the same way about cyan. It should be a shade of red damnit!

pyre ,

as a graphic designer this feels super wrong. especially since it's the exact opposite of red.

Sam_Bass ,

Maybe you feel that way because green vermin are seen as ill
