What is the difference between color and colour?

  • In US English, “color” (no “u”) is the correct spelling.
    In UK English, “colour” (with a “u”) is standard.

“Color” and “colour” are different spellings of the same word, and the difference comes down to regional preferences:

  • Color: This is the American English spelling, commonly used in the United States.
  • Colour: This is the British English spelling, used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and other Commonwealth countries.

Both spellings have the same meaning and pronunciation; they simply reflect variations in English language standards. The same applies to similar pairs like “favorite” and “favourite,” “honor” and “honour,” etc.
