Completely agree, came here to say this.

I was first exposed to the word from pokemon red/blue on the OG Gameboy, grayscale and all, and I think that’s why I associate it with green, latin root word. Vermillion City, Ver… de?

This is exactly why vermilion gets me every time.

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

Or maybe deuteranopia
