   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Palette is drawn from the Czech flag (deep blue, red punctuation) plus a
   warm Prague gold. Deliberately distinct from GQ Explores' burgundy/gold so
   the two brands are never confused in the same market.

   Contrast: every text/background pair used here meets WCAG AA. Gold is never
   used for small text on light backgrounds (it cannot pass) - only on dark
   navy, or as rules, icons and large display type.
