/* ============================================================
   Gerlach Legal — shared stylesheet (Black + White + Silver)
   Updated 2026-04-27: pivoted from Silver Counsel (cream/charcoal/blush)
   per Angela's partner 4/26 21:30-21:37 iMessage: "It's still cream and
   brown? And also dark blocks of color…don't want that" → Evans response
   "Going black and white with touches of silver for the lettering."
   v3 retains the previous palette as a fallback. Variable names
   (--charcoal, --cream, --gold, --espresso, --blush) are kept as
   aliases for backward-compat — existing class rules across the HTML
   still reference them but resolve to the new B&W+silver values.
