Palette scales

Raw palette values, semantic tokens map onto these

Moss (accent, hue ~145)

--dd-moss-100
--dd-moss-200
--dd-moss-300
--dd-moss-400
--dd-moss-500

Earth (warm neutrals)

--dd-earth-50
--dd-earth-100
--dd-earth-200
--dd-earth-300
--dd-earth-400
--dd-earth-500
--dd-earth-600

Group (knowledge graph node types)

--dd-group-people
--dd-group-infra
--dd-group-tools
--dd-group-services

Foundation-layer tokens. Sites that visualize the estate map (the knowledge graph on dunn.dev) read these via getComputedStyle instead of hardcoding hex. Adding a new node group: add the token here first.

Callout accents

--dd-callout-warning
--dd-callout-tip
