Color or Colour?

[Red Cat]

How do you spell it? My spell check gives me these suggestions for colour: color, co lour, and co-lour. I don't know what the heck the last two mean.

 

[TarzanGirl]

Color because I live in the US.

Both are correctooo, but I just use colour because I'm a CBC <3

I'm curious. Does the spell check for this site also have a red line under colour for you or does it vary by location?

Yeah, if I can recall sometime it does have a red line under, the computer always thinks it's wrong, but I dunno about this site because I usually use my iPad, might also vary with location like you said xD

My phone autocorrects to color if I try to type "colour". But I'm in the US so it's expected. I don't mind either spelling, they're both correct.

 

[MintySky]

Colour is how I spell it.

 

[GalacticGhost]

I live in the UK, so I've always spelled it like 'colour'.

My favorite food is a savory donut glazed in caramelized chocolate with a red colored strawberry flavored yogurt filling in the center.

 

[Vizionari]

Pretty sure they're both correct, but I went with color since I'm in the US anyway.

Color

 

[Kapriznyy]

I write these kinds of words in the Americanized way since that's what I was taught growing up, but at the same time... when I'm reading something, colour/honour/armour/etc just seems more "right" to me.

color

 

[Twisterheart]

I spell it color

 

[Alienfish]

i think colour is the british/uk spelling and color is more us. i use colour though cause we were mostly taught british/uk english in school and it makes more sense.

 

[Zane]

I alternate between them without thinking about it, but I think I use "color" more despite my spellcheck constantly telling me its wrong. It's doing it right now. lol

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

I live in the US, so I use "color."

 

[Rasha]
