In the Latin language, "red" can be said in quite a few different ways. According to my Latin dictionary:

* roseus = rose-colored, red * ruber= red, ruddy, painted red * rutilus = red, golden red, reddish yellow * purpureus = purple, dark red Those are all in their Latin masculine forms (describing a male or an object of masculine gender). Their forms in Latin would be, respectively: rosea, rubra, rutila, purpurea.
