/* ============================================================
   ALTERNATE PALETTES — paste over the :root block above.
   ============================================================

   PALETTE B — "High-vis". Industry-native, more energetic.
   Amber is for fills, rules, and eyebrows only; never body text.
   --ink:#0B1B2B; --ink-soft:#48586A; --paper:#F7F7F5; --paper-alt:#E9ECE7;
   --brass:#C67D00; --brass-hover:#A46700; --teal:#0B5A7A; --line:#DBDED8;
   --accent-on-dark:#F0A92E;

   PALETTE C — "Steel". Coolest and most restrained of the three.
   --ink:#1A2430; --ink-soft:#5A6675; --paper:#FAFAFA; --paper-alt:#EDEFF1;
   --brass:#2F6F4E; --brass-hover:#245840; --teal:#2F6F4E; --line:#DCDFE3;
   --accent-on-dark:#6FBF95;

   USAGE RULES, whichever you pick:
   - 90 / 7 / 3. Ninety percent neutral, seven percent navy, three percent accent.
   - The accent means "you can act here." Buttons and active states only.
     The moment it decorates something, it stops signalling anything.
   - Body text never sits on the accent color. Contrast fails and it looks cheap.
   - No gradients. One border radius (2px). One shadow depth, or none.
