There's no real correct way to spell the word, if it's officially adopted as the correct spelling there. That's why in the US, they speak American-English, not exactly English per se.

American person: wtf. u spelled color wrong.

Listen up, you ignorant assholes...there's no right or wrong way to spell it.
It was originally "colour", but early Americans decided that the "u" was unnecessary, so they changed it to "color". What's so wrong about that...they thought it made a lot of sense. And what's wrong with the original spelling...obviously that's the way the Brits liked it!
I can't believe some of the postings on here...with the Brits calling us "lazy" and "stupid" for changing the spelling of a word, and with us calling them ridiculous because their version has an "extra letter"...for Pete's sake, it's a fucking WORD.
Language evolves over time, so deal with it and stop bitching about insignificant things, like everyday language. There's much more important stuff going on out there...

Coloring is a code word for sex as used in the movie Sex In The City. When you don't want someone or a group of someones to know you're talking about sex, or if you're in a public place where the word is not acceptable, sex is referred to as "coloring".
ERIC: Kamron I got all dress up and made you this nice dinner because you said there would be coloring tonight!
KAMRON: I'm not in the mood for coloring. I have a headache.

I catch You dancing in the Moonlight on the beach in the Tropics. The only sound breaking waves and a rustle of untrimmed palms from the Trade Winds at Sea. Who is this Woman who moves so fluidly in the tones of black and white by the beams reflected? No electronic iPod but music within her DNA. Her Colorativity excites me and wets me in anticipation of out first Lovemaking.
