Please note that the question of whether to spell the subject of this article as color or colour is covered by the Manual of Style and American and British English spelling differences. Proposals about spelling should be raised at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). This talk page is for discussing the subject matter of its article. Comments about the spelling of color or colour may be regarded as off-topic and removed.
Specifically: Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English:
Stay with established spelling – If an article has been in a given dialect for a long time, and there is no clear reason to change it, leave it alone. Editors should not change the spelling used in an article wholesale from one variant to another, unless there is a compelling reason to do so (which will rarely be the case). Other editors are justified in reverting such changes. Fixing inconsistencies in the spelling is always appreciated.
Also: Wikipedia:Perennial proposals#Enforce American or British spelling:
- Proposal: For consistency's sake, we should pick one style of spelling (British or American, generally) and stick with it.
- Reason for previous rejection: It is wildly impractical and there is no agreement on which style should be chosen, which has in the past resulted in repeated, needless edit warring.
