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 Henry Ford were alive today he may have had to rework his famous comment about the colour of his cars. It seems that on the production line as well as on the catwalk, brown is the new black.

According to the car paint supplier, PPG, red will retain its popularity, but beige, caramel and yellow will also feature as the prominent car colours by 2000.

A spokesperson for PPG said: "Women's fashion has always led the way when it comes to colour trends, closely followed by the world of interior design. These patterns emerge next in the car market."
