   Softer palette
   The base theme is a hard black/white/grey. This block re-tunes
   the same --apx-* tokens toward a warm, low-contrast, softer
   look: ink becomes deep slate-grey, the accent becomes a muted
   evergreen, and the background/panels become warm off-whites.
   Hard-coded #111 backgrounds are overridden with the soft ink.
   ============================================================ */
