Being from the UK, I have been told off by non-technical personnel for alternating between "color" and "colour" when in a sentence. That's because "colour" isn't in CSS and as soon as I am talking about CSS color, I will use the correct spelling of the property.

So for new developers, make sure your properties are spelt correctly, especially when in context.

That’s definitely something English speakers have to be aware of when using CSS and even a lot of tools localised to the US.
Colour is spelt with a ‘u’ in the U.K., NZ, AU, etc.
