/* ==========================================================================
   Evolutie Consulting — Elite Dark Design System
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A precision-crafted, hyper-professional B2B theme. Deep dark hues, hairline
   1px section borders, structural grids, high-contrast light text, and a
   restrained two-accent palette (Evolutie Blue + Evolutie Orange). No "AI
   slop": no purple/pink gradients, no glowing blobs, no low-contrast type.

   All color is centralized as CSS custom properties on :root. To re-theme,
   change the tokens here once — every component follows. See
   docs/design_system.md for the full reference.
