 * FOUR TIERS. Surfaces carry the colour; type is always Nordic Noir.
 *   T1 ground  Lighthouse            #F3F4F4   0.903
 *   T2 pale    Orchid Hue  #E5E999   Homeopathic Lavender #E5E0EC   0.77 / 0.76
 *   T3 mid     Lavender Pillow #C5B9D3   Kiss a Frog #BEC187        0.513 / 0.508
 *   T4 dark    Nordic Noir           #003344   0.028
 * Within T2 and T3 the pairs are 1.01:1 apart — only hue separates them, so no
 * two same-tier surfaces ever touch. Nordic Noir is the ONLY dark, which means
 * it can be type, every dark band, and the accent on light without collisions.

/* ==========================================================================
   DESIGN RULE — cards and panels never carry a coloured left border.

   A stripe down one edge is a decoration standing in for hierarchy: it says
   "this is important" without earning it, and it breaks the box. Emphasis
   comes from the surface, the border as a whole, or type — not from an edge.

   This is a global rule. If a card needs to stand out, change its background
   or its full border, not one side of it.

   It applies to artwork too: the insights card images carried an Orchid bar
   down one edge, which is the same decoration baked into a PNG. Regenerate
   card art without it.
