  /* ===========================================================================================
   MM-LPTHEME-V1 (2026-10-02) - the palette and type scale now match the new Luxury Presence
   site. Board #31. Values were READ FROM LP'S OWN CSS on livinginmaricopa.com, not eyeballed:
       --primary #293044 . --accent #9ECD1F . --secondary #fff
       primary font Montserrat . secondary font Jost
       h1 60 / h2 40 / h3 32 / h4 28 / h5 22 / h6 20 / body 16
   THE VARIABLE NAMES ARE DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED. 47 restored pages reference --char, --teal
      and --lime by name, so remapping the VALUES reskins all of them at once and touches no
      markup, no URL and no /go/ slug. Renaming them would have meant editing 47 files for the
      same pixels.
   --teal had no counterpart in LP's palette and was the old site's loudest tell. It is mapped
      to LP's primary navy; the old lime to LP's accent lime, which was already a near match.
      Original values are kept inline below so this is one edit to undo.
   =========================================================================================== */
--char:#293044; --char2:#39415a   /* was #2E3445 */; --teal:#293044    /* was #1FA6B8 - LP has no teal; mapped to its primary */; --teal-d:#1b2030  /* was #17818F */;
  --lime:#9ECD1F    /* was #A0D020 - LP accent */; --lime-d:#7aa414  /* was #5E7A0E */; --ink:#3f4450; --muted:#8b909b;
