@YanaDem Around the time of the American Revolution in the 1700s, the American Noah Webster decided that British English had useless, extra letters in various words. So, he initiated a change in the spelling of many words and adopted US standards - that may not have been present in UK English.
We don’t follow this perfectly anymore - since the Brits also standardized their spelling. So, “цвет” here may be seen as colour or the American variant, color.
As to rules: English spelling is messy in my opinion: here’s link for the explanation: https://speakspeak.com/resources/english-gramma...
PS: That link is to a British source, but I agree with the rules.
I hope this helps!
