There is just an actual discussion on the part: http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...47326c.dat that I like to have here for future reference.
Some years ago we where talking about british vs. american english for part description.
If I remember correctly we decided to use the british english to honor James Jessiman as an Australian guy.
Therefore the meta command is f.e. !COLOUR and not !COLOR.
Now I am aware that the decription of the colours in the LDConfig.ldr is not made this way. There is often gray instead grey used.
If I am right and this is our current policy the LDConfig.ldr should immediately be updated.
Also in our document for part authoring this detail should be mentioned.
