/* ============================================================
   Dyer Democrats – Town Council 2026
   Shared stylesheet for all pages.

   HOW COLORS WORK:
   The site has a shared "base" theme (Democratic blue).
   Each candidate page overrides two colors near the top of that
   page's HTML file, inside a <style> block, like this:

       :root {
         --accent: #6a1b9a;      <-- main color
         --accent-dark: #4a0072; <-- darker shade for hovers
       }

   You normally never need to edit THIS file. Change colors on the
   page itself. Change text and images directly in the page HTML.
   ============================================================ */

:root {
  /* Base Democratic palette (used on home + shared elements) */
  --blue:        #1a3a6b;   /* deep Democratic navy-blue */

  --blue-light:  #3a63a8;
  --yellow:      #f4c20d;   /* combined-sign yellow accent */
  --white:       #ffffff;
  --ink:         #1c1c1c;   /* body text */

  --line:        #e3e6ea;   /* borders */
  --bg-soft:     #f6f8fb;   /* soft section background */

  /* Accent = per-candidate color. Defaults to blue on shared pages. */

  --accent-dark: var(--blue-dark);
