   StocksAce.com - design system
   Vertical: trading education, tools, long-form guides.
   Deliberately distinct from sibling properties:
     Stock Ships   = cosmos/dark       PSU = dark + cyan #22d3ee
     BuybackStocks = light Playfair    AceTicker = warm paper + emerald #0C7A57
     StocksAce     = cool paper + indigo #2F4A8C + burnt amber, serif/sans editorial.
   Do NOT drift toward AceTicker's warm-paper/emerald: they are the closest pair.
