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 #FCFAEB is the intended canvas color and that it reads well against existing surfaces (white cards, the blue navbar, admin bg-blue-100 content 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 #FCFAEB as 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
