   vbgnt public site — shared chrome for vbgnt.com.

   Dark by design: the product is a game console, and the arcade
   (gallery/index.html) it hands you is dark too, so the marketing site and
   the thing it sells look like one object. The arcade carries this same
   palette — keep the two in step when either moves.

   Two accents, with distinct jobs: violet carries actions (buttons, links,
   hovers), cyan carries labels and affirmatives (overlines, ticks, kickers).
   Mixing those roles is what makes a two-accent system look accidental.

   Loaded by the landing page and every blog post, so nav, footer, buttons
   and prose stay one system as the site grows.
