/* ================================================================
   BUYERS PAGE — PAGE-SPECIFIC STYLES
   Location: /home/kitchenbrand/public_html/T-Belle/styles/buyers.css

   Requires global.css to be loaded first.
   Global provides: reset, body, header/nav, buttons (.btn base),
                    shared section helpers, footer, --main, --secondary,
                    --accent, --charcoal, --sans, --serif, etc.

   This file adds:
     · Page-specific color tokens (dark section palette)
     · All layout sections unique to the buyers page
     · Page-level responsive overrides

   Variable map (old → new):
     --nv-sky / --tahoe-blue → var(--secondary)
     --nv-sky-lt             → var(--secondary-light)
     --gold                  → var(--accent)
     --gold-lt               → var(--accent-light)
     --tiffany*              → var(--main*)
     --char                  → var(--charcoal)   [from global]
     --snow                  → var(--warm-white)  [from global]
     --r-md / --r-xl         → var(--radius-md/xl) [from global]
     DM Sans                 → var(--sans) = Jost   [from global]
