Yes, but how do you resolve:
verb/colour
noun/colour
adjective/colour
the verb could be written "colourise".
the verb could be prefixed with "to ", as an infinitive, while the noun
wouldn't.
there is no adjective "colour", although like many nouns it can be used in
several grammatical cases to form adjective-like prefixes such as in
"colour-blind".
video/colour
audio/colour
That is a good example; also there are several definitions of colour in
use in video and/or visual arts. Colour is often assumed to be the
information in a RGB pixel or equivalent, but sometimes it's assumed to
include opacity as well. However, on my old telly, "COLOR" means "chroma
gain" (saturation gain) instead, and that's also what "colour" means in
Video4Linux1 digitiser settings. "Colour balance" usually means "chroma
offset", nothing to do with luma and thus nothing to do with the whole of
RGB, but not directly saturation either. In elementary school, our teacher
was proud to teach us that "black and white are not REAL colours!".
