   Learner's Loft Academy — styles.css
   A faithful clone of the reference layout, rebuilt with a LIGHTER palette.
   Humanist sans-serif typography, plum brand, rounded organic image masks,
   carousel hero with caption panels, floating decorations, circle blobs.
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   Palette (lightened):
     Plum brand       #5B3A66   (softer than the reference near-black plum)

     Blush            #ECB7C5
     Sage             #BCC79E
     Gold             #E0BE7E
     Ink              #3F3744
