"color" is the American spelling of the word and "colour" is the correct spelling of the word - used by the rest of the English speaking world.
The difference exists because, simply, the American language is a dialect of English. Dropping the "u" from words like colour, neighbour, behaviour, etc, is just one of the many funny things we as Americans have done over the last 200+ years to our mother language.
