The correct way: Color.

Just don't ask a Brit to pronounce "aluminum".

It's spelt and spoken with an i before the second u.

Which adds yet another syllable to the word.

The first time I heard a Brit say aluminum, I was WTF?!?

Aluminium is scientifically correct even in the US, it's literally just a North American colloquialism we tolerate.

At least they don't use the second O in words like Laboratory.

I'm curious though are you cockney or do you talk the queens English? You seem like the type that would be a cockney chav that always runs their mouth with nothing to back it up. Probably from Croydon or some other cesspool.

I'm New Cross, so next door to Peckham but I was raised by my mum who thinks anything less than the middle class life of a world touring RAF pilot family is basically destitute. I speak English cleanly but I do use some slang.

I run my mouth as I've grown up surrounded by ignorant chavs that has made me conceited. It's natural to talk down to people when you're surrounded by lesser-minded people.

I stand somewhat corrected then.

I hear that. Most chavs really grind my gears, ok?

Color but colour doesn't upset me.

Little Lord Fauntleroy Chapter 7

"Here lyeth ye bodye of Gregorye Arthure Fyrst Earle of Dorincourt Allsoe of Alisone Hildegarde hys wyfe."

"May I whisper?" inquired his lordship, devoured by curiousity.

"What is it?" said his grandfather.

"Who are they?"

"Some of your ancestors," answered the Earl, "who lived a few hundred years ago."

"Perhaps," said Lord Fauntleroy, regarding them with respect, "perhaps I got my spelling from them."

Color is one of those ones where my spelling changes depending on how I'm feeling. Other words have are somewhat random about how I go about spelling them, but unlike colour, they are consistent. Armour always has a U, and honor never does, for example.

Also, it may not seem that way, but I actually didn't mean to spell colour both ways above. Though, the one in the previous sentence was more intentional because my fingers really sat there not knowing what to think anymore, and I like the U more.
