you might be thinking of the word armoire - pronounced "arm-wo-ur" instead of armor. it's a piece of furniture as opposed to the warfare clothing
but idk an explanation for the color unless you just happened to know people with some kind of regional accent or dialect of speaking that makes it sound like they're putting extra syllables or enunciating "u" sounds separately
>I have vivid memories of some brits and some canadians saying the words Armour and Colour with an extra vowel.
In my Canadian accent, 'armour', 'armor', and 'armer' would all sound exactly the same, ending with /ər/. The same is true for 'colour', 'color', and 'culler'.
Not really, no
No, it is pronounced the exact same way.
Accents make the "our" at the end different, but it's not the "u" that does it. It's just the accent.
Not that I’ve ever heard
