   Palette is derived strictly from the approved brand marks:
     #FF971E orange  ·  #F03232 red  ·  #02A3AB teal
   Ink tones are desaturated extensions of the brand teal (not neutral black),
   so the dark surfaces stay inside the brand family. Paper is a cool,
   teal-tinted off-white for the same reason.
