Use these colors for all components:

Background: #E7EDEE
Text: #1A343C
Accent: #283235
Support: #B38B80
Neutral: #C4C7CF

Rules:
- Use Background for surfaces and canvas
- Use Ink for body text and icons
- Never use Accent as body text — contrast is too low
- Maintain 4.5:1 minimum contrast for normal text
