/* KloudTech — www.kloudtech.co.za
 *
 * One stylesheet, no framework, and nothing loaded from a third party: the type
 * is served from this origin alongside everything else. That is what keeps the
 * Content-Security-Policy strict rather than aspirational, and it is why there
 * is no inline <script> or style= anywhere in the markup.
 *
 * THE PALETTE IS THE BRAND'S, unchanged — indigo, navy and the logo's own
 * purple-to-orange sweep. What changed is how it is used: flat bands became
 * layered gradient fields, hairline rules became soft-edged surfaces, and the
 * type is doing much more of the work.
 *
 *   #150438  indigo   the ground the whole site sits on
 *   #182b39  navy     the secondary dark
 *   #98276d  accent   the solid button — a ground for white type, never type
 *   #f0c3dd  accent-on  the accent where it is a word or an icon
 *   #8A2473 -> #E56924  the logo gradient
 *
 * THE SITE IS DARK THROUGHOUT. One indigo ground, one fixed gradient field
 * behind everything, and surfaces that lift off it with a few percent of white
 * rather than sitting on sheets of paper. Nothing here is a light-mode
 * stylesheet with a dark skin bolted on: the tokens are the dark values, so a
 * component cannot be built pale by accident.
 *
 * CONTRAST IS CHECKED, NOT ASSUMED. Every pairing used for text is noted with
 * its ratio. The orange end of the gradient is 3.1:1 under white, so it is a
 * decoration and a rule — never a background for words. The accent is the same
 * story the other way round: white on it is 7.4:1, it on indigo is 2.0:1.
