   peach #FAC39F, apricot #F9A968, lavender #8E88B8, paper #F2F4F8, body grey #4C536A. The logo is never recoloured
   except navy <-> white on dark grounds, exactly as the profile does.

   What we build — the build reel (Components/Shared/BuildReel.razor)
   Two halves: "For running your business" on white, "For your customers" on navy.
   Base = a stacked list of big words (phones, short screens, reduced motion, no JS); the customer half sits on a
   full-width navy band. .is-armed (set by site.js on desktop) = one pinned screen where the words roll in one at
   a time; when the customer half starts, navy floods out of the asterisk (.reel-flood) and site.js sets
   data-theme="dark" on the section so the header and the counter follow.
