Colour

The observed property of light which is closely related to its wavelength.
A HeNe laser has a distinctive red colour of wavelength usually around 633nm.

Calling someone coloured is often considered racist.

Issac Newton decided there should be seven colours in the spectrum, even though only six are particularly well defined. Indigo only exists because of Newton's religious beliefs.

Colour is the correct spelling. :P

Colour

The PROPER way of spelling colour.
Or color as the americans spell it.
Americans will probably spell it wrong because British spelling is too SUPERIOR and they can't understand it.
The FIRST way of spelling it, and the right way.
British dude: Do you like the colour of my thirt?
American dude: No that color is stoopid. I love pink!
British dude: YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL!!!!!

Colour

The British and original way of spelling the American way of 'color.' Personally, I hate the way Americans spell words like color, favor and behavior while I love the way my country and others spell them, such as colour, favour and behaviour. You can easily find out an American Grammar Nazi (abbreviated: AGN) by just taunting them with the spelling. If they say "PISS OFF YOU FUCKING CUNT; IT'S SPELT COLOR" you can easily correct them by saying: "Colour is the original way, you mcdonalds eater"
*I DO NOT MEAN OFFENCE TO THOSE WHO LOVE MCDONALDS.
British Person: "This colour is vibrant and hurts my eyes"
AGN: "IT'S COLOR YOU FUCKING PIECE OF COCK-SUCKING BRITON!"
British Community: "Here we go again.."

Possibly the most offensive racial slur of them all. Use implys that being black (or non-white) is a sensitive issue that needs to be skirted around.
