/* ============================================================================
 * palette.css — THE SIGNATURE PALETTE
 *
 * His ruling, 2026-08-05: "blues greens blacks gold — that needs to become a
 * signature palette for us. White is also included. However, yellows, reds,
 * oranges — those really don't go with our brand style."
 *
 * It lives HERE, not in any one deck, because it is ours across every deck we
 * will ever make. A deck that wants a colour asks this file for it. A deck that
 * hard-codes a hex is drifting, and the drift is invisible until two decks sit
 * side by side.
 *
 * ⛔ BANNED, permanently: yellow, red, orange, flame, ember, burn. Not "used
 *    sparingly" — absent. If a design seems to need one, the design is wrong.
 *
 * ONE EXCEPTION, and it is not an exception to the rule: his CANONICAL PLATES
 * carry warm ink of their own, and the glyph engines read HIS colour straight
 * out of his pixels. That warmth is his, it is gold-family, and it is never
 * recoloured to fit a palette. Coywolf does not repaint a coywolf.

     yellow or orange or red in TEXT unless I call for it specifically." Against these

       ✔ gold in rules, glows, marks, and his plates' own ink
       ⛔ gold as a text colour — headline accents, links, tags, labels
     Type is white, blue, green. Reach for --ti2 before you reach for gold. */
