I think if you are living in a coding environment you have to write "color", and then after a time it seems normal to write it that way even if not coding. I lived in a coding environment. I don't recall ever writing "color". The languages, libraries etc. where 'color' is a name are a minority, but it is not a small minority. I am disinclined to do a check of a selection of them to estimate the proportion. While there have been some where 'colour' was a name, I know of none that survive in active use today. However, it is NOT true that most reasonably literate users of the word 'colour' change their usage as a result of using such environments, and it is common for the comments to use 'colour' except when referring to the name.
