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}}.
