It shouldn't make a difference at all. As long as you saved it as plain text and can open the source with notepad, it makes no difference. A browser parses for stuff it understands, i.e. tags.

They both work most of the time, though the correct way in CSS is to spell colour incorrectly. I believe "background-colour" is also acceptable though, and browsers don't seem to mind it.

Actually it does, but you're getting into some more advanced stuff there. For the purposes of this page, it makes little difference.
