\color is indeed used in color.sty, which seems to me a good reason
*not* to use either American or British spelling. However, since I
don't recall what the original command was for (and can't afford the
time to look for it) I'm not able to suggest a reasonable alternative

However, MNRAS were still updating their 2.09 stuff in 1995, so one
presumes they've little interest in all this new-fangled 2\varepsilon
stuff.
This is in fact a general problem: SPIE, I found last week, updated
their 2.09 proceedings stuff in July (it turned out easier to hack
their 2.09 package to a 2e class than to un-2e-ise the paper that had
to be out <24 hours after I was called onto the job ;-).
What publishers (apart from Springer NY ;-) can we expect to refuse to
take part in this sort of exercise, I wonder?
