It depends on where you are living if color is spelled O R or O U R. If you live in the United States, you would spell color with an O R; however, if you lived in the United Kingdom, you would spell color with an O U R. Neither of them are wrong to use though.
In the USA, it's spelled color. Noah Webster (Merriam-Webster dictionary) wanted to rid the US of the "old spelling" of Britain after the Revolution, so he created books called Spellers for schoolchildren. In these books, he made some word changes, such as dropping the u in words like colour and favour.

In UK English, which is used throughout the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other ex-British colonies, the word is still spelt "colour".
Color can be spelled two different ways in the English language.

We differ between US-English and UK-English (Some times AUS-English too)

In the US, the preferred spelling of color is "color".

In the UK, the preferred spelling of color is "colour".

US = United States of America.

UK = United Kingdoms (England, Wales, etc)

AUS = Australia
