• Background: Pure White (#FFFFFF) primary, Soft Peach (#F2B999) secondary/editorial

• Links: Sunset Coral (#D96F66) default, underline and shift to Deep Abyssal (#040D0C) on hover

• Borders: Deep Abyssal (#040D0C) or Ocean Teal (#307B8C)

### Iteration Guide

1. Colors remain strictly within palette: Use #040D0C, #307B8C, #D96F66, #F2B999, and #FFFFFF. Use light generic grays only for disabled states.

2. Typography strictly enforced: EBGaramond (headings) and Manrope (body/UI).

3. Shape logic: 0px border-radius by default (sharp, high-fashion feel), 8px for primary buttons only.

### Dark Mode Implementation

1. Background Foundation: Always use Deep Abyssal (#040D0C). Never use pure #000000.

2. Elevation: Communicate depth by using slightly lighter variants of Abyssal (#1A2524) for cards or modals.

3. Text Contrast: Primary text must be Soft Peach (#F2B999) or White (#FFFFFF). Avoid using black text on dark surfaces.

4. Sunset Coral usage: In dark mode, ensure Sunset Coral buttons have sufficient "glow" by keeping them solid and vibrant.

5. Transparency: Use rgba(48, 123, 140, 0.3) (Ocean Teal) for subtle dividers to maintain the "oceanic" depth.
