   PrivaTalent — shared stylesheet

   Palette rationale: --teal is reserved for decorative use
   (gradients, borders, glows) because #10a9bd only contrasts
   2.83:1 against white — below WCAG AA for text/buttons.
   --teal-deep (#06788d, 5.15:1) carries white-on-teal text and
   teal-on-white text. --teal-light (#55d7e8, 10.76:1 on navy)
   carries teal text on dark backgrounds.
