I thought that Google was shut off when I saw this thread but it works for me. I don't know why it's not working where you live.

Until it's available again, let me provide you with some links:

Habiba Ahmed · Answer

'Color' and 'colour' are just two different spellings of the same word. Color is preferred in American English whereas; colour is the preferred spelling in British English.

There is no such difference in their meaning and function. As a noun, it is used to refer to the appearance of something in terms of hue, brightness or saturation. As a verb, it means to change the shade or color/colour of something.
