Section usage

Hero, navbar, cards, footer.

Hero

Keep the background calm and let the CTA carry the strongest color.

Navbar

Use the darkest shade for navigation and the accent for the active state.

Cards

Cards stay readable when the accent is limited to icons, tags, or buttons.

Footer

A quieter support shade gives the page a softer ending than the hero.
