Sounds like a Tolkien book to me.

As soon as I found out that Vermillion was red, the name of the tavern from Hello From The Magic Tavern made a lot more sense

Vert means green in french (the t is silent)

Chartreuse as well tbh, just the other way around.

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

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.

For me, this word is associated with red

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