You should not use American spelling when writing for a non-American audience.  If you are writing for a British audience or for an audience in a country where British spelling is the accepted style, you should avoid American spelling.

StyleWriter Software highlights the common American spelling variants and displays the usual British spelling variant.  For example:

Pattern    Advice

ax    axe

center    UK spelling uses “…re” not “…er”
centre

catalog    UK spelling uses “…logue” not “…log”
catalogue

analyze    UK spelling uses “…yse” not “…yze”
analyse

color    UK spelling uses “…our” not “…or”
colour

fulfill    fulfil
