   Optimal Wellness — The Journal
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A separate room from the rest of the site: plum-noir chrome over a
   lavender-white reading surface, because 2,000 words of medical writing needs
   a light ground.

   Three materials, no overlap — check every colour decision against this
   before adding one:

     LAVENDER #8E6BCB  is FLUID.   The drip rail, the beads, the short-answer
                                   card. Anything representing the thing
                                   moving through the line.
     VIOLET   #654093  is LANGUAGE. Links, eyebrows, emphasis. Text that acts.
     GOLD     #A8781F  is METAL.    Hairlines, frames, citation markers. The
                                   apparatus the fluid runs through.

   Fluid and language are now the same hue family, so they are separated by
   WEIGHT instead: the fluid is the light lavender, the language is the deep
   violet. That is a real, visible difference — and it leaves gold as the only
   non-purple accent, which makes the citation markers easier to find, not
   harder. If a future change collapses that gap, the system stops working.

   Teal keeps exactly one job — the service note, where the clinic stops
   writing editorially and starts talking about its own menu.

   SIGNATURE — the drip rail. A hairline down the left of the article with a
   bead at every section. As you read, fluid descends the line and each bead
   fills as you pass it. It is the reading-progress indicator this kind of
   page needs, drawn in the client's own apparatus. (It also does the one
   thing the hero footage never could: it actually drips.)
