   PALETTE CONCEPT — 3 tiers, deliberate use:
   • Light tier: white (nav, cards) · off-white (body) · pale gray (alt sections)
   • Dark tier:  brand blue (Method, Testimonials, Footer, hovers)
   • Accent:     brand peach (CTAs, italic spark, single warm CTA section)
   Anything else is a derived gradient or text tone — never a standalone surface.
