The way I found it explained last I looked up the difference was that “color” and “theater” are the older forms, and sometime after the establishment of the USA, someone in the UK decided words should be more like the original French they were descended, and added the “u” to colour and swapped the end letters to “theatre”. Is that outdated information?
