I was at the toy store earlier, and I saw this little toy airplane.
On the front, it said something like

Colours may vary from illustration

On the back, where it listed instructions in a few different languages, it said "GB:" (Great Britain), and used the word "color."
Spelling conflict or what? tongue

Yeah.
Toy boats are better in my opinion.

The colours feel so right. Full stop. I am honoured. I'll go and put the lead on my dog, and put my jumper on.

I recognise both forms of the word.

Ha ha, where do the makers live? They must know nothing about GB's great spelling and saying of things.

Eh, maybe it's an american brand with manufacturers in GB?

Or just a speling error? See what I did there?

My concern is that the front is in English yet there's an English secondary translation...

Which makes me think that they just got lazy in changing the spelling, which makes sense. Sometimes, in packaging, they do the back first.

It's Israeli. tongue Some people here no nothing about English. I was just pointing out that they made a fail, not an English discussion thread like this.

Nah, I used to buy them there until I got ninja'd by the shopkeeper's assistant.
