/** * Two palettes on one set of variables, same shape most reading apps use: * a warm paper-white default with a dark reader mode a tap away. Light is * the default per the site's call -- :root carries the light values, and * [data-theme="dark"] (set on by main.js, read from localStorage) * overrides them. Every rule below reads the variable, never the palette * directly, so nothing needs a second, theme-specific copy. * * --on-brass is the one exception: it's a fixed dark ink used for text and * icons sitting *on top of* the brass accent (buttons, the collapsed * mobile TOC button). Brass stays roughly the same lightness in both * palettes, so a fixed dark-on-brass pairing holds up in both -- unlike * --ink/--text, which flip lightness between themes and would go * invisible if reused there. */ :root{ color-scheme:light; --ink:#FAF7F0; --ink-2:#F0E9DA; --surface:#FFFFFF; --surface-2:#F5EFE2; --brass:#93701F; --brass-dim:#B08A3E; --brass-soft:rgba(147,112,31,.12); --on-brass:#211C13; --on-photo:#F5F0E4; --text:#241F17; --muted:#6C6153; --muted-2:#948A78; --hair:rgba(36,31,23,.14); --success:#2E7D4C; --success-bg:rgba(46,125,76,.12); --wrap:1100px; --measure:660px; /* the reading column -- never widen this, long lines are the fastest way to make prose unreadable */ --aside:320px; /* Font stacks -- the web font is always listed first, but every stack ends in solid, widely-installed system fonts.
