/* ============================================
   ON-DARK ACCENT SWITCH

   Befree uses its indigo (#3230E0) as the accent on light grounds and its
   warm tones (#FFAB57 / #FF668D) on dark ones - indigo on the dark purple
   is roughly 1.9:1 and effectively invisible.

   Rather than rewrite every accent rule, the accent ramp is redefined on
   the dark containers. Custom properties inherit, so every descendant that
   already reads --color-gold-* picks up the warm value automatically.
