Viridis is commonly used for 'green' in Latin. There are also several other words used as necessary.
A couple suggested here don't fit that list, though.
Glaucus is used for bluish-gray, not a green shade.
Pratinus appears to be a a spelling error for Prasinus, which translates to leek-green.
Herbaceus is grass-green.
Pallidus is yellow-green

as has already been pointed out latin has both 'viridis' and 'glaucus' to mean 'green'.
there are some languages which use the same word for both 'green' and 'blue': welsh has 'glas' which covers both colours.
but then welsh also has 'gwyrdd' to mean 'green' (but a native welsh speaker will often use 'glas' where an english speaker might have expected 'gwyrdd').

Virides. The latin languages have similar words derived from this latin name: portuguese and spanish: verde. French: vert.

Yes, the Latin word for "green" is "viridis" (hence the English word "verdure", which means "greenery").

Virent or Viret depending on whether it is masculine or feminine. Much like the french language, verte or vert....
