A similar question was asked on [English language and usage](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/69401/how-to-choose-between-british-and-american-english-for-technical-documents) and the answer is that it depends on the audience. However choosing American English might be a better choice since it is more likely for the audience to be familiar with it: > (..) many Europeans have spent time in the U.S., or at least watch American movies. In the scientific realm, there are more publications written in American English so scientists may have more exposure to it. Of course, having both forms defined as synonyms makes everybody happy, but makes it harder to manage the tags, so my suggestions is to prefer the US form as the base one. Out of curiosity I have checked Google trends for [two ](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=color,colour)[concepts ](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=ground%20beef,minced%20meat)and US forms seems to be way more used.
