   Gold #D4AF37 · Charcoal #1A1A1A · Slate #333333 · Warm Gray #B7B3A6 (on dark) / #7A786F (on light)
   Sand #E7E3DA · Ivory #F2F1ED · Paper #FAF9F6
   Type: Montserrat Bold headings · Cinzel small caps tagline/accents
   Two themes: light (default) and dark, toggled via html[data-theme].
   Fixed-dark brand surfaces (hero, dark bands, CTA, gate) stay charcoal in both themes.
   --gold-ink is a derived darker gold used ONLY where small gold text sits on light
   surfaces (AA 4.5:1); decorative gold stays brand #D4AF37 everywhere. */
