Strangely, I do that too. I tend to blame my education :)
Amusingly enough, (though not strange, if you consider its origins) Haskell uses the British spelling. Off the top of my head, the colour types are defined in the Data.Colour module.
After seeing him give a talk, I've come to the conclusion that Simon Peyton-Jones is possibly the most British man alive.
If anyone is interested:

I don't know if this is the one you meant, but I watched it a while ago and I think it's well worth the time: SPJ is great to listen to and you actually pick up a good amount Haskell and functional concepts.

He'll have to apologetically briskly out-stroll Stephen Fry first.

class Colour extends Color {} // problem solved.
Color colour = new Color();
To me, it makes perfect sense, and tbh didn't realise I was even doing it. I definitely endorse everyone standardising on American spelling though, now its been pointed out to me.
