Oh, yes, it's quite common:
v=F6r=F6shaj=FA (red-head/haired, sandy!), v=F6r=F6sbor (red wine)
e.g. "S=F3proni K=E9kfrankos" ;-), V=F6r=F6s-tenger (Red Sea), v=F6r=F6sr=
=E9z (copper), =3D=0D

v=F6r=F6sf=E9m (bronze), v=F6r=F6shagyma (red onion), v=F6r=F6sr=E9pa (redb=
eet)-> "v=F6r=F6sr=E9m=3D=0D
"
(hopefully obsolete!)
But: pirosv=E9r=FC (red-blooded), pirosul(ni) (blush), pirospej (redfox), P=
iros=3D=0D
ka
(Rotk=E4ppchen), piros-pozsg=E1s (with red cheeks) etc.

Thanks! It's A halotti besz=E9d! (Funeral Oration). Should be "...tudmuc...=
va=3D=0D
gmuc..."(?)
(Something about "dust and ashes".)

Yes, "f=F6ldalatti" - lit. "underground" (is it now called Metro?)
