Étymologie

From Middle English colour, color, borrowed from Anglo-Norman colur, from Old French colour, color, from Latin color.
Displaced English blee, Middle English blee (“color”), from Old English blēo. Also partially replaced Old English hīew (“color”) and its descendants (English hue), which is less often used in this sense. Doublet of couleur.
The spelling color was popularized in modern American English by Webster, to match the spelling of the word's Latin etymon, and make all American spellings of the derivatives consistent (colorimeter, coloration, colorize, colorless, etc).
