/* CAND Media site-wide design system.
   Shared by every page: index, services, pricing, about, remote, contact.
   Brand: white #FFFFFF ground, black #000000 type, red #E42220 accent. Nothing else.

   2026-09-29 light flip. Cannon ruled: white background, black and red text,
   "feel like a proper website". What changed and why:
   - Ground is white, type is black, red is still the only accent color.
   - Sections alternate white and off-white (.sect-alt) so the page reads as
     built blocks instead of one long sheet. Off-white is depth, not a color.
   - Nav logo is brand_assets/logo-black.png: the white master recolored to
     black with the red door kept.
   - Client logos are white-keyed PNGs; filter: brightness(0) prints them black.
   - The footer is the one black band on the site: white logo, nav, contact.
   - Shards stay (Cannon kept the background language 2026-09-03) but are
     redrawn for a white ground as a livery flash: solid red shard plus a
     thin black stripe, one shared angle, parked at the edges of the hero.
     Translucent shards and red glows turn pink on white, so both are gone.
     Sections carry no shards; the hero and page headers own them.

   Layout rules from the 2026-09-22 pass still hold:
   - One centered .sec-head per page at most. Everything else is a left-aligned
     .split (headline left, content right) or a strip with no headline.
   - Red accent word lives in H1s only. Section H2s are plain, 60px max,
     so the page headline is the biggest thing on the page.
   - Subpage headers are headline + lede, no min-height.
   - Proof (client logos) rides at the bottom of the home hero, above the fold.
   Page-specific layout still lives in a small inline <style> on each page. */
