What is Colour?

A mixed race person or people, especially if the mix includes African and European, or an adjective describing these people. Can be either a recent mixture with parents or grandparents of different races, or members of old mixed race groups like the Cape Coloureds of South Africa or the Rehobothers of Namibia. It is not derogatory or perjorative per se, but may be used that way by those who disapprove of racial mixing. Used throughout Anglophone Sub-Saharan Africa, from Colonial British English.

The Coloureds of Zambia are usually the children or grandchildren of British and Zambian couples, while the Cape Coloureds of South Africa are the descendants of mixing involving Dutch, Khoisan, Indonesian and Bantu going back over two centuries.

Colour - what is it?

The original spelling of the word now commonly spelt as color. Colour is the outdated version that people rejected partly because its pronunciation didn't match the way it looked. The use of a 'u' in the word was understood but it was removed because intelligent folk realised it was completely unnecessary.

What's more, if a company needs to have several signs made that additional u will increase the total production cost. American know this because they are more business savy.

Typing a long screen play or book with extra us in everything just means you'll get carpal tunnel faster. Those Us add up after all ya know; save time. Make sense. Drop that u in colour!

Colour - definition

The British and original way of spelling the American way of 'color.' Personally, I hate the way Americans spell words like color, favor and behavior while I love the way my country and others spell them, such as colour, favour and behaviour. You can easily find out an American Grammar Nazi (abbreviated: AGN) by just taunting them with the spelling. If they say "PISS OFF YOU FUCKING CUNT; IT'S SPELT COLOR" you can easily correct them by saying: "Colour is the original way, you mcdonalds eater"
*I DO NOT MEAN OFFENCE TO THOSE WHO LOVE MCDONALDS.

British Person: "This colour is vibrant and hurts my eyes"
AGN: "IT'S COLOR YOU FUCKING PIECE OF COCK-SUCKING BRITON!"
British Community: "Here we go again.."

Colour

The observed property of light which is closely related to its wavelength.

A HeNe laser has a distinctive red colour of wavelength usually around 633nm.

Calling someone coloured is often considered racist.

Issac Newton decided there should be seven colours in the spectrum, even though only six are particularly well defined. Indigo only exists because of Newton's religious beliefs.

Colour is the correct spelling. :P

Colour

A concept invented by John Logie Baird in 1928 when he got bored with black and white. Black and white is considered to be more "classic" and timeless by most people, with colour generally only accepted in today's world as a means to making commentary on televised snooker tournaments simpler.

John Logie Baird (turning in grave): If I could turn back time, I think on balance I wouldn't have invented colour.
Graverobber: Why is that John?
Baird: I just don't think it has stood the test of time.
