How obsessive artists colorize old photos

You might have seen some of these colorized photos on the internet. Mark Twain, Amelia Earhart, a young Charlie Chaplin. It’s incredible how normal these people look because they’re no longer in black and white. Like they’re someone you could

We need to change how we bury the dead

When I say “funeral” this is probably what you think of, right? The cemetery, the casket, the gorgeous floral arrangements. Vin Diesel stylishly going two buttons undone on the dress shirt. But what if I told you that other than

The surprising pattern behind color names around the world

If I showed you this paint chip and asked you to tell me what color it is, what would you say? How about this one? And this one? You probably said blue, purple, and brown — but if your native

Missing Chapter: A new series about hidden histories

Hey everyone, I’m Ranjani, here to announce a new series we’re starting called Missing Chapter! The goal of this series is to tell stories that often don’t make it into our history textbooks — that are overlooked or underreported. Our

How Technicolor changed movies

You know this scene from The Wizard of Oz. It happens just after Dorothy croons in sepia-toned Kansas, Toto wags his tail, and the house gets caught in a tornado. She travels from a faded film strip to a Technicolor
