I know the Canadian way I spell it is Colour.
And I think the Americans spell it Color.
Ether way it's spelled differently but the same meaning.

It is the same thing. US English spells it color and British English spells it colour. It is the same difference in favorite and favourite.

Words and languages evolve over time, so I expect 'colour' to be the older version. And 'color' to be the modern form. They both get the same message across, so I wouldn't be too confuzzled (my word!).

color is the American spelling and colour is the Canadian/British spelling
Same goes for grey(or Gray), aluminum(aluminium), apologize(apologise), armour(armor), centre(center).
I'm Canadian, so I honestly don't have a problem with the difference
