   PARADIUM.AI  ·  ROUND 2  ·  "Materia"
   Bold Creative, evolved: Didone serif drawn from the wordmark,
   real elevation + texture, a navigable pillar carousel, and a
   talent/scale proof section.

   Shared base. Each colour variation overrides ONLY the palette
   tokens at the top of its own <style> block — structure, type,
   depth and motion are identical across the three so the colour
   comparison is like-for-like.
