Use colour! Color is incorrect and wrong (Unless your american).
At the age of 16 you will probably be preparing for your GCSEs/A-LEVELS right now (depending on whether your just turnt 16 or are soon to turn 17) and writing color on one of your exams could loose you a few marks 1. because they will think you cannot spell and 2. because the markers tend to be in their 50s and 60s and therefore aren't fond of Americanisation of their language.

Plus I'd hardly call removing 1 letter 'less effort'. It would be much better to just get used to using the u lol.

As I have said, I rarely tend to use such words, partly because I try not to and partly because my parents avoided showing me American television when I was younger as they could see that kids were hearing it on their TV each day and accepting it to be the right way to say things.
