Is the word vermelhos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?
Yes
The meaning, grammar, and spelling of "vermelhos" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels tend to be more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often more closed or even reduced (often sounding almost swallowed), which changes the phonetic rhythm of the word.
