/* ==========================================================================
   VICO FUNERAL SERVICES — SITE STYLESHEET
   Sky-blue palette with a complementary warm-orange shadow motif that
   threads consistently from the header, through every card and section,
   down to the footer. All copy text is black; icon glyphs and icon
   containers keep their original colouring so they stay visible/on-brand.

   HOVER RULE (applies site-wide, every page): cards never change
   background/text/icon colour on hover. The ONLY thing that changes on
   hover is the drop shadow ("underglow") + a small lift. This is enforced
   below in section 8 with high-specificity rules so it holds even if a
   page wraps a card in an <a> tag (e.g. clickable contact cards).
