Why is it masculine?

Verde is an invariable adjective in Portuguese meaning "green." It does not have grammatical gender and agrees with nouns of any gender without changing form (e.g., "o carro verde," "a casa verde"). It derives from Latin "viridis," but Portuguese simplified Romance adjective inflections, making "verde" invariable rather than maintaining gender distinctions.
