Here in Australia, we use colour.

It should be colour. That's the orginal spelling. I think America is the only place that spells it "color". I guess we're just trying to be different.
by Slap Daddy on August 23rd, 2009
Both are acceptable, though it usually depends on your geographical location.
For the record if I were a teacher I doubt I would take points off if spelled either way.

British: colour
American (modified): color

In American English it is color and in British English is colour. I grew up taking British English and so it is colour for me.

Color = American spelling standard
Colour = British standard? I think so.

The correct spelling in written English is colour.Many words are altered by English speaking nations as they find them easier to pronounce.As long as we all understand the alternative spelling of the words it really does not matter.
