## Color Guidance

- Background: Deep warm neutrals — dark velvet `#1a1a1a`, rich cream `#f5f0e8`, warm off-white
- Environment: Premium surfaces — marble, dark wood, polished metal, linen
- Accent: Teal `#0d9488` as sophisticated detail — screen glow, environmental element, subtle prop — never dominant
- Avoid: Bright primaries, cold blues dominant, high contrast drama, anything that disrupts the composed elegance
