     BRAND GREEN — #38761d, the exact value from the supplied logo.
     It is not stored as a fill in that file; it is applied by an
     feColorMatrix (0.21875, 0.4609375, 0.11328125) => rgb(56,118,29).

     The rest of the ramp is derived at the same hue (101.8deg) and then
     TUNED against measured contrast. Changing --brand alone will NOT
     update the others — re-derive if the brand hex ever moves.

     Why one brand color had to become several (measured, not guessed):
       · white on a mid green (#479429) = 3.79 -> too weak for a button,
         so CTAs on light use --brand-deep (white on it = 8.86)
       · the brand green on near-black = 3.6 -> unreadable, so anything
         on a dark surface uses --brand-light (10.93) or --brand-bright
