/* SKIN: professional (law, accounting, medical, consulting, B2B services)
   Feel: clean, credible, quiet confidence. Structured, restrained color.

   THIS SITE'S COPY (solomons-corporate-solutions, 2026-10-08) is tuned to the
   client's logo: a near-black navy band fading to deep teal behind a chrome
   serif monogram. Skins are per-site files (qa.ps1 does not gate them against
   the template); base.css stays untouched. What this copy does differently
   from the stock professional skin, and why:
   - DARK heroes (the fleet's standard overlay) but tinted toward the logo's
     navy/teal rather than neutral gray, so the stock photos read as the same
     brand as the logo band in the header.
   - Serif display face (Cormorant Garamond) at heavier weights, with a
     spaced-caps eyebrow in the body sans - the same pairing as the logo.
   - Flat, hairline surfaces (--shadow:none) and square-ish 6px radii: this is
     an analyst's site, not a storefront.
   - Brand: navy #0B2F4A (primary), teal #006C91 (accent, white text 5.6:1),
     chrome gray #C9D3DB as a DECORATIVE rule color only - fails as text. */
