Colorado is using mountain saving time (MST) as of March 9, 2008 at 2:00 AM until November 2, 2008 at 2:00 AM. The offset from universal time for MST is UTC/GMT -6 hours.
The time difference right now between Spain and Colorado is the difference between offsets:
(+2) - (-6)= (-8). Most of the time this will be true but since they change to daylight savings time on different days, the time diference will not allways be eight hours.
