i have really shitty logic

The answer to that really depends if you're talking about light theory or colour theory.

Light theory states that the colours you see are merely the wavelengths of light that an object is reflecting. That means if you're looking at a red ball the ball is absorbing all wavelengths, and reflecting the ones that we perceive as the colour red. If you look at an object that is white that means it's reflecting every single wavelength and absorbing none, which makes it just as much of a colour as any other. Incidentally that is also why black is not a colour, since no wavelengths are being reflected.

Colour theory states that mixtures of primary colours can be used to form other colours. Pretty much the most common primary colours are RGB (off-hand the only others I can name are CMYK). Mixing pure red and pure green together will yield yellow, which is inarguably a colour. Mixing pure red, pure green, and pure blue together will yield white, so it has to be a colour as well.

Just trying to spread your laziness, you mean. Colour is the proper way to spell colour. United-Statians, in their laziness, prefer the term "color", "favorite", etc. Don't you dare attempt to make classier people conform.

That is incredibly pretentious, and just plain wrong. The United States has a different culture than the United Kingdom, which is why they spell certain words differently. The reasoning has nothing to do with "laziness"; they changes have to do with how the word is pronounced. The "u" is removed from words such as "colour" because there is no "u" sound in the word, just like how in U.S. English "grey" is spelled "gray" because of the "a" sound, "centre" is spelled "center" because of the "er" sound, and "laser" is spelled "lazer" because of the "zzz" (as in "buzz") sound.

Both "colour" and "color" are correct spellings. Get off your high horse.

The whole point of the spelling reform was to make it easier.

The "u" is removed from words such as "colour" because there is no "u" sound in the word, just like how in U.S. English "grey" is spelled "gray" because of the "a" sound, "centre" is spelled "center" because of the "er" sound, and "laser" is spelled "lazer" because of the "zzz" (as in "buzz") sound.

Color and colour dont specify the same sounds. Color would sound more like cul-OR if pronounced correctly, while colour pronounced correctly would be cul-ER, which is how the word sounds. Therefore the american one isnt correct.

Both "colour" and "color" are correct spellings. Get off your high horse.

Hes not on any sort of high horse, hes just pointing the obvious out.

How is writing "center" instead of "centre", or "lazer" instead of "laser" easier?

Yes he is. Read his post, specifically this part:

Well in theory it was supposed to be easier. Maybe it was correct back then but has become incorrect over time.

Please read this, it wasnt to make it easier

No color pronounced correctly would be color, you are pretending as if it wouldn't for I don't know what reason.
Just as I could say colour would be pronounced correctly would be "Cul-OUR" They are both correct,

Hes not on any sort of high horse, hes just pointing the obvious out.

Well calling himself "Classy" sure does suggest that

Again, we both spell it differently not because the other is wrong, but because we are both right.

Also my fav color is Teal and red

That's a hard one. I don't really have a favorite color that is not on the rainbow. My favorite color is red.

Also black is a shade and so is grey.

White is the presence of all wavelengths of colour in the visible spectrum.

Green is an awesome color.
But...it's part of the rainbow and the thread is for your favorite color that does not appear in the rainbow.
So anything thats not: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, or Violet.
