"Detour is pronounced dee-toor. Colour would be pronounced kuhl-loor. However, it is pronounced kuhl-er so color is the more appropriate spelling."

(The MODERN spelling of) one of the shades of a prism, like red, blue, green, yellow, etc. Colors are decided by the amount of light that is absorbed or reflected by the human eye. Don't give me any crap about this "colour" shit and it being "the original spelling". Any educated person living in the 21st century knows that the word isn't pronounced "kul-oo-wer". It's 2 syllables: "kul-er" And stop bitching. After all, this is an American website. If it was European, I wouldn't care.

She's the nicest girl in the whole world. She's caring, trustworthy, loyal, honest, fun, and no one is more beautiful than her. She's an amazing woman and a true genuine friend, you can always count on her and she'll always be there for you. You gotta know how to treat her, and never let her go... because she's definitely a keeper. If you know a Colores you're very lucky to have her in your life.
Friend 1: -"Have you met my new friend? She's a real Colores"
Friend 2: -"Wow you're lucky, yes I definitely wanna meet her"
