One accent hue on neutral surfaces. Status colors are functional only — never decorative.

Rules
- One accent hue (#006FA7). No secondary brand colors — Daylight is single-hue.
- No gradients. Depth comes from hairline borders and soft shadows, not color.
- Surfaces are near-white on a light-grey page; keep large areas neutral and let the accent do the pointing.
- Status colors are functional only — never decorative.
