On what basis "color" is preferred over "colour"?

Colour is used probably in larger parts world. Tejasvi Singh Tomar (talk) 14:26, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See the template at the top of the page; this is beyond the scope of the article.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:30, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Tejasvi Singh Tomar—it is not a matter of "color" being preferred over "colour". The article has to chose one spelling or the other. For some background information on how such a decision might be made see MOS:ENGVAR. Bus stop (talk) 17:07, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

67% of Native English speakers spell it "color". John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 14:05, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Rod vision

Wavelength responsiveness of short (S), medium (M) and long (L) wavelength cones compared to that of rods (R)

Perhaps the following graph should be included to clarify role of rod cells in color vision→

Semi-protected edit request on 3 January 2018

The word colour should take precedence over color as it is the original spelling. The American word of color is a regional variant and shouldn't take precedence over the original as it does so in this article. So please change the order so that colour comes before color. Also the Title should be colour instead of color to reflect my previous point. 2A00:23C1:AD81:7E00:847:97A4:1F22:E5FF (talk) 13:56, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done the variety of English is determined as explained in WP:ENGVAR, and once set, should not be changed. - Arjayay (talk) 14:09, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
