/* ==========================================================================
   Chris & Kayvan — Team Site
   Typography: Playfair Display (headlines) + Montserrat (body/UI) — unchanged
   Palette: pulled directly from Chris's own real site, hysellhomes.com
   (fetched its stylesheet + a live screenshot rather than guessing): a
   near-black/white/gray base with a single deep plum accent (#340c3d,
   confirmed via hysellhomes.com's own CSS — the `.hysell-h`/`.hysell-points`
   heading classes), used there sparingly for headline emphasis only, never
   as a button or dark-section color. Same 11-variable structure as the
   KALEO version, values replaced.

   This plum is a much easier color to work with than KALEO's Glendora Tan:
   at ~16.6:1 on white it's safe as text everywhere on a *light* background,
   no separate "-deep" derivation needed for that direction. The one real
   gotcha (see "contrast fix" comments below): plum is nearly the same
   luminance as --ink, so it goes almost invisible as text/icon color on
   *dark* (--ink) backgrounds — hysellhomes.com sidesteps this by simply
   never putting the accent on a dark background at all (dark sections
   there are plain white-on-black, no color). Matched that pattern here:
   the handful of spots that used the accent as text/icon color on a dark
   --ink background now use --porcelain (white) instead, same as
   hysellhomes.com does — which also happens to fit "not a fan of colors"
   better than inventing a second, lighter accent shade would have.
