I suspect that a Bermuda onion is just another strain of yellow onion. It's popularity probably came
into being with Bermuda shorts in the 50's. As someone suggested it is probably not as acrid as a
Spanish onion and not as sweet as Vidalia, Walla Walla, Texas Sweet, et.al.
As for purple or red onions I remember when they were a sweet onion, and could be eaten like an
apple (only when riding the north 40 by one's self). These days red onions I buy seem just as acrid
as regular yellow onions.

Hope that helps?
