In Canada either version of the word "color" can be generally used and accepted. The most commonly used is colour which is the official spelling.
The same applies to the official Canadian English spellings for armour, labour, behaviour, flavour, favour, favourite, honour, harbour, rumour, saviour, and savour.
Because of the US influence, words like airplane, tire, and aluminum, and endings like -ize or -yze are used in the American way like "authorize" and "paralyze" instead of the British way "authorise" and paralyse."
Also words with words ending with 'L' are either doubled with suffixes (the UK way) while other words have a single 'L' that is doubled in US English.
Travel:
Traveling = Travelling
Traveled = Travelled
Cancel:

Enroll = Enrol, Enrolment, Enrolling

∙ 12y agoColour is the CORRECT spelling. "color" is just the American term which the rest of the world doesn't use.
It depends what country you are in. Example. Australia spells it with a "U" and the USA doesnt. To find the exact spelling, or correct spelling I think we have to go back to where the "queens" English began
