/* ============================================================
   ALLEC CO. CREATIVE — scoped brand system per official brand
   guidelines: Crimson Red as the signature accent, with Quiet Sky
   Blue + Spotlight Gold as sparing secondary accents. Background
   stays light and warm, consistent with the rest of Allec
   Collective — "editorial daylight," not a dark production studio.
   Visual richness comes from photography, scale, and composition,
   not from a black page. Applied only within .creative-brand.
