Best Answer

In Irish two different words are used for red:

rua (rooa) can mean red-(haired); reddish-brown, russet, copper brown.

dearg (djarug) is the usual color red.

In the other Gaelic (Scottish) they are spelled ruadh(rooa) and dearg

(jarug).

'dearg', which is bright red,

'ruadh', which is (browny) red, rust-coloured.

Ruadh would be used to describe red hair or the colour of a fox, for instance
