Description
🤖 From Claude:
Summary
PR #2287 moves the site background from plain white to the brand cream #FCFAEB — the color labeled "BACKGROUND COLOR" in the AWBW brand guide. This is a site-wide, visible brand change, so it should be reviewed and signed off by AWBW staff (who own branding decisions) before it ships.
Why this needs staff coordination
- Changing the global page background touches every page. Staff should confirm
#FCFAEBis the intended canvas color and that it reads well against existing surfaces (white cards, the blue navbar, adminbg-blue-100content tint). - The brand guide also defines a wider palette and additional tint backgrounds (
#E7F0C6,#FFEFC7,#FFDDCF) plus brand/complementary colors. Staff may want a broader, intentional rollout (section backgrounds, accents) rather than only the page canvas. - Any follow-on branding work (adopting more of the palette, updating the navbar/footer, etc.) should be driven by staff direction.
To coordinate
- Confirm
#FCFAEBas the site background color - Confirm it works with white cards / blue navbar / admin blue tint
- Decide whether to adopt the additional brand tints / palette elsewhere
- Sign-off before merging #2287
