1-methylbenzene
Here is the diagram
http://postimage.org/image/g1sw1qnw7/
It is showing the number of environments but I don't see why Cb and Cb are the same and why Cc and Cc are the same (hence the same colours).
PLEASE PLEASE EXPLAIN
because Cb and Cb are C-H? But Ca is C-H too!

ah my friend it is not just the local environment but the bigger picture
OK - if we just had benzene you agree the all all the same - and spectrosocpy like NMR agrees
the thing that breaks the symmetry is the methly group
c is just one Carbon form that symmetry breaker
b is 2 carbonds form the symmetry breaker
a is at the opposite end (para)
think in terms of the bigger picture
