Theme Name: Fin SparksAffiliatesLLC v1

/* Colors here are variables only (--primary-color, --secondary-color,
   --text-color, --bg-color, --surface-color, --border-color, plus shades
   derived from them via color-mix()) — never a hardcoded value, per
   THEME-DEV.md in the parent theme. Fallback values below match the
   defaults functions.php seeds on activation; the Customizer's own inline
   <style> (printed after this file) always wins in practice.

   Extra brand tokens this theme adds beyond the parent's 8 — follow the same
   rule: they're Customizer mods, not literals.
   --positive-color/--negative-color (the newsletter form's success/error
   feedback, "Sparks: Brand Extras") derive --positive-on-dark/
   --negative-on-dark via color-mix() below, same pattern as the parent's
   --crimson-dark etc. --sparks-footer-bg/--sparks-form-bg (footer and
   newsletter-form panel backgrounds, "Sparks: Footer") are plain standalone
   colors — nothing derives from them. */
