Short, regular, and the source of a genuine trap: is a neck, is a colour, and dropping that second r changes the sentence completely. The derivations are straightforward - o for a collar, koltuko for a scarf, kolĉeno for a necklace. Body parts in Esperanto take the possessive normally rather than the definite article that French and Spanish prefer, so rather than the bare , though the article version is understood.
