Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you love to travel and have a good eye for colours, paint company Behr may have the perfect job for you.
The company is currently looking to hire someone for the position of “colour explorer” and it would mean travelling across the US and Canada looking for new paint colours and names.
The dream job, which would entail looking to nature and cities for colour inspiration, also comes with a salary of $10,000 - and all travel expenses are covered.
“The colour explorer will kayak the glacial blues of Lake Louise in Banff, join the crowd at a vibrant music festival, take in the bold exteriors of Charleston’s Rainbow Row, and experience many more moments of positively pigmented wanderlust in between,” the job description reads.
In addition to looking for new colours, the colour explorer will also be tasked with taking detailed field notes and photos of the colour inspiration they find, as well as keeping followers up to date via a blog.
Once the colour explorer has decided on hues, they will use their findings to “create and name beautiful new Behr paint colours”.
To qualify for the position, applicants must be at least 21 years of age, have a valid US or Canadian passport and be able to travel across the US and Canada this summer.
The only other requirement is you must “love colour and be open to new, unforgettable and inspiring experiences”.
If the job sounds like a dream come true, all you need to do is fill out an application and describe what colour inspires you most and why before 15 May.
