Let me start by saying death to America. With that out of the way, that would be pronounced like floor, in American English ou and long o are different sounds.
I’m not aware of an accent where they would be pronounced the same tbh.
Flour -> Flower
Flor -> Floor
From an etymology standpoint, flower=flour.
Wait, in British English is the ou in colour or favour not the same as the o in lore or voracious?
Do they pronounce it like the ou in house?
Respectively, those words would be /kʌlə(r)/, /fleɪvə(r)/, /lɔː(r)/, /vəreɪʃəs/, /haʊs/. Sometimes “voracious” has the same first vowel as “lore”, but usually it gets a schwa. AFAIK “flavour” and “colour” always have schwa in the second syllable. All the words have roughly the same variations in pronunciation in both the UK and US.
I don't know how I got so in my head that I convinced myself that they don't use schwas in American accents to honestly
Maybe because in American accents, most of the schwas are R-colo(u)red or literally a syllabic /r/, while in most British accents they are plain schwas or schwa with an /r/ inserted after if the next sound is a vowel as in Panda-r-Express.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
