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.We all see colour differently – as was proved earlier this year when The Dress sent the internet into meltdown as people debated whether it was blue and black or white and gold.
Helen Czerski, a physicist, is so interested by colour that she is presenting a documentary for the BBC named “Colour: The Spectrum of Science”, to investigate how and why we all perceive colour differently.
In the series, she will highlight the differences between the colours we do see and those that we can’t, such as ultraviolet and infrared colours.
Most of us can tell the difference between shades of greens and blues, but what about the more specific shades? Take our quiz to see if you can differentiate between the 15 different colours below.
