   NIL PATEL PORTFOLIO — LIGHT EDITION v2
   ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   GLOBAL THEME TOKENS — Change these to restyle the entire page.
   In Laravel: extract to resources/css/theme.css and @import
   ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

   HOW TO CHANGE THE PALETTE:
   · --accent     → main CTA colour (buttons, highlights, cursor)
   · --accent-2   → secondary pop (tags, badges, hover states)
   · --ink        → primary text colour
   · --page-bg    → overall page background
   · --surface-*  → card / panel backgrounds
