Hey, argue with Webster's New World Dictionary! 😉

The American dictionary Websters, has the main entry under "color", with "colour" being described as "chiefly Brit var of COLOR", whilst the English and European dictionaries ( Oxford, Collins, Chambers ) have it the other way round.
Both are acceptable . Move on.

I am always going to spell it color, unless of course someone spells it that way, the I will shift to the other spelling of colour. 🙂
