The funny thing is that the Americans, without realizing it,
re-established the
way the word, which originates from Latin, was written. I think the way the
English write it reflects the way the French pronounce it.
Latin: color
French: couleur
English: colour
American: color
Dutch: kleur (this is pronounced exactly as in French, but skips the
first vowel)
German: Farbe :-0
