/* ============================================================================
   NL Bridge Solutions — draft stylesheet

   Direction: "the chart plate".
   The product is not workers, it is a legal corridor into Cyprus. So the page
   is built from the artefacts of that world — approach routes, depth contours,
   reference codes, stage tracks, clearance stamps — rather than generic
   marketing cards.

   Palette is Aegean: sunlight on water. Deep abyss teal grounds the page,
   turquoise is the clearance accent, and everything sits on a cool near-white.

   Type roles are deliberately inverted from the usual B2B default:
     display = expanded grotesque  → institutional signage, permit forms
     body    = serif               → document text
     utility = mono                → codes, labels, data

   Each top-level <section> maps 1:1 onto an Elementor section.
   Brand changes belong in the :root block below, not scattered in the rules.
   ========================================================================= */

  /* --- ground ---

  /* --- accents ---
     All at hue ~190°, deliberately blue of cyan. Split by contrast duty, which
     is what stops the palette going muddy:

     --sea        carries small text (eyebrows, links) on BOTH the paper and the
                  band, so it is capped twice over. It cannot go brighter than
                  this without failing 4.5:1 on the band.
     --sea-bright is the same hue with the cap lifted — graphics only, where the
                  floor is 3:1 non-text. This is what makes the island fill and
                  the sector icons read bright rather than algae.
     --turquoise  never meets a light ground at all, so it runs brightest. */
