/* ==========================================================================
   Eleganz Kids International Preschool — site-wide design system
   Palette is locked to the approved style guide (Color.png):
     primary   #F6A6BF   secondary #07483D   teal #73C8B2
     text      #2B2B2B / #414042
     icon      #F4AD1A / #F7CB47
     logo only #EB2626 / #9F2122 / #FBD139
   The teal was added 2026-09-21 as a third brand colour and carries the
   large tinted surfaces the pink and green cannot.
   Type is Poppins throughout — 400/500 for body, 700 for headings and UI,
   800 for display sizes (h1, h2, stat figures).
   Every page of the site loads this file first, then its own page stylesheet.
