Welcome to the forum.

Too bad about having an argument over this...it probably isn't worth arguing about!

The word "rojo" is probably the most common, although you will also see "colorado". For example, when my children were little they used to read about "Clifford" and he was definitely "colorado".

Both you and your daughter are right. Kiss and make up!
