/* Royal Electrical Services. Mako Digital, 2026.
   Brand: Royal Navy blue #0b1f3f + the logo red #c8102e, crest gold #e3b448 on dark grounds.
   The --blue* tokens are the ACCENT (kept from the base theme); they now hold red.
   Superwide: the container and the root font size step up at 1600/2100/2600px,
   so a 3440px screen gets a bigger page, not a narrow column in a sea of white. */
