Possible solution (if it's absolutely critical that color and colour both have top level non-redirected articles): Put all the content in {{colr}} and transclude it. If you include a heading near the top and people use section editing, they won't even know!
Reasons include that [[color]] contains, or at least should contain, different etymologies, pronunciations, derived terms, related terms,
etc.
than [[colour]]. Another argument is that [[color]] also lists the
Latin,
Spanish, etc. words, which [[colour]] doesn't of course.
Hmm, that does rather ruin the redirect idea. Silly of me not to figure that out myself. (Of course, I don't really find the Wiktionary approach of putting homographs -- in different languages, even -- on the same page very useful, but I'm not going to try changing _that_.)
The template approach proposed by Steve could still work, though. One could have both [[color]] and [[colour]] transclude {{en-color-colour}}.

The only sections that are shared by both words are the translations, though. Because of that, we're now experimenting with having a shared translation section transcluded via template.
