/* Screed Floor Limited — 9 Sep 2026.
 *
 * Damon: "the design is very old and looks like his site — our first prototype
 * was good but not quite right for the industry. Somewhere in the middle, less
 * RAF red white and blue. Soften the blocks. Font is good."
 *
 * So: concrete and steel, with one warm accent used sparingly.
 *
 * His blue is kept but matured — #13478E desaturated and darkened to a slate
 * (#223648) that still reads as his brand from across a room without shouting.
 * The pillar-box red is gone; the accent is a rust/terracotta taken off fired
 * clay and oxide, which is what this trade actually looks like on site. The
 * greys are WARM (#F5F3F0, #E2DED8) rather than blue-grey, because cool greys
 * read as tech and warm greys read as material.
 *
 * "Soften the blocks" is done in four places: the section heading is a rule and
 * type instead of a filled navy box; cards and buttons carry a small radius;
 * the solid navy bands become light concrete with a hairline; and the chips
 * lose their fill for an outline.
