A quick calculation gives me:
Spanish:
Germanic 1 (blanco "white")
uncertain 1 (perro "dog", probably expressive neologism)
VLatin 98
French:
Germanic 2 (blanc "white", marcher "walk")
VLatin 98
Catalan
Germanic 1 (blanc "white")
Celtic 1 (banya "horn")
uncertain 1 (gos "dog", probably expressive neologism)
VLatin 97
(Technically, groc "yellow" is from Greek (krokos), but via Latin crocus).
