   One brand, three areas (2 Oct 2026). The client asked us to stay with her original branding, so the only
   colours are the logo's: yellow, wordmark grey and white. Each area leads with one of them:
     Combinative Education  → white heroes (light, like the logo on its white ground)
     Combinative Collective → yellow heroes and sub-menu (bright, warm, welcoming)
     Combinative Consultancy → grey heroes, grey panels, grey closing band (serious, restrained)
   Heroes read the --hero-* tokens, so an area is defined in one rule.
