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.

Dulux has announced its 2023 Colour of the Year – and it’s perfect for those who prefer warm, neutral hues on their walls.

The colour is Wild Wonder, which the company says was inspired “by the warm tones of harvested crops with an upbeat glow which connects us with the cycles of life, by creating a sense of energy and positivity”.

The hue is a mix between a green and a mustard yellow and has been “created to capture the wonders of the earth”.

Dulux adds that it hopes the colour will “inspire creativity and bring a sense of nature’s magic to our living and working spaces in 2023”.

The Wild Wonder hue is supported by four colour palettes called Lush, Buzz, Raw, and Flow.

The “Lush” palette includes forest hues like “Old Time Olive” and “Fresh Foliage”, while the “Buzz” palette is made of brighter colours like “Rocksalt Rose” and “Manuka Honeybee”.

“Raw” is an earth palette with browns and beiges like “Woven Hemp” and “Malted Caramel”, while “Flow” has sea tones like “Rockpool Ripple” and “Midwinter Tide”.
