I don't do it at school because the teachers don't accept it spelled that way, but I personally like 'colour' better.

Right. Actually, strictly speaking, "blonde" is used to describe a female with light hair, and "blond" is used to describe a male with light hair (or any other light-colored object, such as "blond wood").

Colors is the american way to spell it, colours is the canadian way. So technically I should spell it "colour" because I live in canada, but I spell it "color" anyway. Cause I use html and you have to spell it "color" to make it work...also because I'm just too damn lazy to press an extra key hehe.gif

So yeah, here I say it again lol.

I say it in colors. Not colour. I never use the word, colour. I know that I used to use that when I had art class.

I usually just spell it Color.

I did a blend before that involved a rainbow gradient, and I thought it would look better if the text said "Colour", though.
