It doesn't rhyme. Colorado doesn't end with -ou sound but a clear cut -o sound.
Here are some of your other options:
mikado, credo, dodo, judo, pseudo, speedo, weirdo, commando, libido, tornado, torpedo, tuxedo

Wasn't aware shadow was pronounced shadoo. :)

You have to give me a bit of slack on these rhymes. Different regions have different pronunciations. Tallershadow and Colorado sounds like an almost perfect rhyme to me.

I'm from Colorado and some people pronounce it Call-o-rah-do. Some people say Kello-rad-do. I think Taller Shadow is an awesome rhyme for a puzzle, and is the coorect rhyme for Call-o-rad-do. Fun one, Brian. And I did get this one! Yay!

Very cool

I found no issue with Brian's rhyme. Although I pronounce the "a" in Colorado like the "o" in "clock", I've heard Colorado pronounced in a way that would make it rhyme perfectly well with the word, shadow, that is, with the short "a" like "bat". It was only natural to change how I pronounced it to hear the rhyme.

And lol, #8.
