Yep everything you said here is correct. But colour and color are more interchangeable and not as much of a gaffe as substituting "nitch" for "neesh" because the letter 'U' in both cases follows from a consinent and is therefore not pronounced.
For instance in camouflage, you don't hear the 'U' because it follows the letter 'O'. It's camoflage, not camUflage even though there is a U in it.
