I'm gonna assume you're British because of the U thats jammed into color. Is there a story why Yanks decided to skip the U in this word as well as Favourite etc?

post revolutionary war, this guy named Webster decided to work on inventing an Americanized version of English. to further seperate themselves from the british, it was decided to change the spellings of several words, like color and theater, and add new words, like bullfrog.
