Ive noticed that when I type in the value "colour" this does not change? However using US "color" works?

You cannot change the spellings over I am afraid. However, don't worry, you will soon get used to the American spellings and it won't bother you anymore.
Good luck with your programming!

I feel your pain!
This isn't something Treehouse are doing because they are a US company. HTML and most languages are written in American English. This means that words like 'colour' will not be recognised as proper syntax.
However, trust me when I say you get used to it :D
I still obviously write 'colour' in day-to-day writing, but my brain just instantly knows to write 'color' in css.
Keep up the good work!
