   Network Advisors — design tokens & base system (v2, light theme)
   Brand: white + #238aae (teal) + #87d06b (green).
   Note: #238aae fails WCAG AA (4.5:1) as small text/button-label color on
   white — it measures ~3.95:1. We keep the literal hex for large brand
   surfaces (hero wash, icons, thick borders, section accents) and use a
   darker same-hue derivative (--color-primary-strong) for text links and
   button labels, which passes at 5.6:1. Swap in exact brand text-safe hex
   here if design system has an official one.
