As a non-native speaker I tend to mix the two. School taught me british spelling, internet taught me american. Colour is one of the words where I’ve always stuck with british spelling.
I was super surprised when I learned that RuneScape got me stuck on the British spelling of Armour as a kid. Armour has a U in it and you cannot convince me otherwise!
I’m always very annoyed by technical tools that stick to US spelling and that will consider “colour” to be a syntax error. I sometimes set up aliases to get rid of those.

I use both spellings. Armour: The kind you wear. Armor: The kind you drive.

I think I was just a rebellious teen but I (an american English speaker from my earliest) always spell colour with the u. No idea why
I do that too, and I blame Neopets.
