Quintence Styleguide
Light + dark instrument-panel language, keyed to the wordmark bars. Every swatch, specimen, and component below resolves to a token in globals.css @theme ~ nothing is hardcoded. Hex pairs read light / dark; ratios are quoted for the dark theme.
Color tokens
Surface stack & signals
Surfaces step from base to overlay. Accent is wordmark steel-blue #1E6CB4 / #6CB2E6; signals are dots and status only.
