Life in Technicolor/Techniolour

I was just wondering--since Coldplay are a British band, why did they choose to spell it "Life in Technicolor" rather than "Life in Technicolour"? I'm American so I'm not super familiar with British spelling rules, but is it common to use color/colour interchangebly in British English?

Coldplay use the American spelling because "Technicolor" is a trademark, so they ignore the British spelling. We never spell it "color". I wonder why the U got dropped? Usually American spelling is more accurate than British in terms of pronunciation but not here. Strange.
