Design System

VertiSub uses a custom CSS variable-based design system for consistent theming:
style.css:18
:root {
  --primary-color: #0f1319;      /* bunker */
  --secondary-color: #e3c5ca;    /* pink-flare */
  --accent-color: #bb0c2b;       /* shiraz */
  --accent-secondary: #bb1447;   /* cardinal */
  --accent-tertiary: #bc7ece;    /* east-side */
  --text-dark: #544949;          /* emperor */
  --text-light: #ffffff;
  --text-gray: #7b7b7b;          /* boulder */
  --transition: all 0.6s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
}
These variables ensure consistent branding across all pages and components.
