/* ==========================================================================
   Acrylic Painting for Beginners — main stylesheet
   Design system: tokens, typography, components, layouts, utilities.
   No external dependencies. No remote fonts. No image files. Mobile-first.

   Look: an artist's studio. Gessoed canvas for the page, charcoal panels,
   ultramarine as the working color and one pigment per category. Texture is
   drawn with CSS gradients and inline SVG only: a canvas weave with a little
   tooth on the page, hand-drawn brush strokes used as masks (underlines,
   dividers, ragged paint edges) and ridged "impasto" bands of thick paint.

   Contrast reference (WCAG AA, relative luminance, computed):
     ink         #23222b on canvas #f7f3ea ......... 14.2:1
     ink-soft    #3d3b47 on canvas ................. 9.9:1
     ink-muted   #5d5a66 on canvas / paper ......... 6.1:1 / 6.6:1
     primary     #2b46b3 on canvas / paper ......... 7.2:1 / 7.8:1
     paper       #fffdf8 on primary #2b46b3 ........ 7.9:1
     paper       #fffdf8 on primary-deep #1d2f80 ... 11.6:1
     paper       #fffdf8 on charcoal #23222b ....... 15.5:1
     ink         #23222b on yellow #f0b429 ......... 8.5:1
     accent-deep #b5341d on canvas / accent-soft ... 5.5:1 / 5.2:1
     teal-deep   #0e6661 on canvas / teal-soft ..... 6.1:1 / 5.7:1
     footer text #cfcbd8 on charcoal ............... 9.9:1
   Category text colors (--apb-cat-ink) are all 5.3:1 or better on canvas.
   The bright pigments (--apb-cat) are used for decoration only, never text.
