/* =====================================================================
   Altara Research, company site. Dark, cinematic (owner, 24 Oct 2026).

   Brand kit (Brand Playbook, Oct 2026): Deep Navy #06194D, Royal Blue
   #043B94, Bright Blue #086AED; Montserrat headings, Open Sans body.
   The ground is a deeper navy than the kit's (#030B26) so the particle
   world reads as light in darkness.

   Measured contrast on #030B26 (WCAG AA body text is 4.5:1):
     white 18.9, body rgba(234,240,255,.78) ~11, muted .62 ~7.2
     sky #6CC4FF 9.6: the accent for text and links
     bright #086AED 3.6: FAILS as text, fills only (white on bright 4.89)
