 What is the difference between the words
Color and Colour?

 Color and colour are different spellings of

the same word.

 The spelling is different depending on the

country where the word is written.

 Color is the preferred spelling in American

English, and colour is preferred in all
other main varieties of English.
 Light - Dark - Bright

You can also talk in shades (or intensity) of colour in English by using
such expressions as:

 Light is the opposite of Dark.

 Bright: a strong colour that is easy to see.

Examples:
Helen has dark green eyes.
His light grey hair made him look very distinguished.
Her bright pink lipstick doesn't look good.
