I've seen plenty of badly spelled English in comments in PEAR (much of it
from people who don't speak English natively) - so I really can't see that
it matters much whether you write "color" or "colour", or "center" or
"centre", or "grey" or "gray".
Consistency would be nice.
(And also, in these cases, HTML prefers "color" and "center" - but doesn't
care whether you use "grey" or "gray").
