Open Access has different levels (colours):
Diamond: free to publish in the journal and freely available to everyone
Gold: journal makes all articles freely available to everyone but requires authors to pay per article
Hybrid: journal can make some articles freely available but requires author to pay a fee per article
Green: journal article owns the article (unlikely to pay) and you as the author allowed to self-archive either the pre-print (the author's copy of article before it’s been reviewed by the publisher, or pre-reviewed)
OR
post-print (the author's copy of article after it’s been reviewed and corrected, but before the publisher has formatted it for publication, or post-reviewed)
