/* ========================================================================= Samaha Law Firm - stylesheet, v2 Version this filename when the file changes. _headers caches /assets/* for a year as immutable, so an edit under the same name will not reach anyone who has already loaded the site. PALETTE - every value sampled from the supplied business card artwork, not chosen. Source of each is stated. Do not revise without saying why. #182476 navy 1,014,235 px, the card field itself #71C5EA accent the rule under the name on the reverse #D4D4D6 paper 158,532 px, the mount the card sits on The tagline "ROOTED IN JUSTICE" measures nearer #7EB6EE, a hair more violet than the rule. Two near-identical blues is drift, not design, so the rule value wins and is used everywhere. One accent, defined once. CSS ORDER RULE: every base rule is declared before any max-width media query that overrides it.
