   COLOR ROLES (strict — no random swaps)
   ─────────────────────────────────────
   Navy   #0B1C30   dark surfaces, primary text, dark headings
   White  #FFFFFF   light surfaces
   Mist   #F2F4F7   alternate light bands (neutral, not sky)
   Orange #D46F28   primary CTA + spine + ONE accent mark only
   Mute   #5B6B7C   secondary text

   On dark: white / white@70% / white@45% — never sky for every label.
   Em italics: same color as parent, italic weight only.
   Links: navy → orange on hover.

   Surfaces alternate: white ↔ mist. Dark is intentional (hero, product, close).
