   HERO BACKGROUND — SAGE (FINAL)
   `hero--sage` is hard-set on <body> and is what ships. The base .hero rules
   above are the cream field; these repaint ONLY the hero, after the visiting-
   card front. Every other section is untouched. Removing the class from <body>
   reverts to cream — kept dormant rather than deleted so the base hero styles
   (layout, type scale, cue) stay in one place.

   The band value #5F6D57 is used rather than the #74836A token: on #74836A the
   11px eyebrow is 3.7:1 in cream and 2.5:1 in gold, both failing AA. #5F6D57
   carries cream at 5.0:1 at any size, and matches the Why band so the two sage
   surfaces on the page agree.

   The eyebrow is cream, not gold: gold on #5F6D57 is 3.3:1, fine for the large
   tagline but failing for 11px type. This also matches the card, where
   "INTERIOR STYLING" is set in white, not gold.

   /academy — 3BRIDGE DESIGN ACADEMY
   The same tokens, the same type, the same line system — a brighter, younger
   register of the identical brand. No new colours are introduced here.

   Three rules carry the shift:
     · cream dominates. The only sage surface is the hero; the footer stays
       charcoal so it is byte-identical to the home page's.
     · gold does much more work than on the main site — eyebrow markers, pillar
       underlines, the panel frame, focus states and button fills.
     · type is a step larger and airier on mobile.

   GOLD AND CONTRAST — read before changing a colour here.
   Gold text is not usable as small type on either of this site's surfaces:
   #F0C420 is 1.7:1 on cream and 3.3:1 on #5F6D57, so an 11px gold eyebrow fails
   AA on both (it clears AA-large on sage only, at 24px+). Gold therefore gets
   its bigger role as RULES, FILLS and FOCUS STATES, and every eyebrow keeps a
   gold marker bar with its text in an accessible colour. That is what
   .eyebrow--rule is. See RUNBOOK §7.
