/** * VMT Reading Guide — editorial styling (divi-child 1.6.2 visual refinement). * * Warm & inviting, editorial, modern — an independent-bookshop feel rather than * a SaaS dashboard. Keeps the brand palette (teal #0d6976, gold #cc8614) but * warms the surfaces to cream, leans on the gold accent, uses a web-safe serif * for titles/headings, and gives every grid card a consistent fixed cover box. * * Scoped under .vmt-rg so it coexists with Divi. Structure/markup unchanged from * 1.6.x — this pass is styling only. * * @package divi-child */ .vmt-rg { /* Brand */ --rg-teal: #0d6976; --rg-teal-dark: #094e58; --rg-gold: #cc8614; --rg-gold-deep: #a96c0d; --rg-gold-tint: rgba(204, 134, 20, 0.12); /* Warm neutrals */ --rg-cream: #f6f1e8; /* page background */ --rg-card: #fffdf9; /* card / panel surface */ --rg-cover-frame: #efe8da; /* consistent frame behind contained covers */ --rg-ink: #33302b; --rg-muted: #7c7466; --rg-line: #e7dfd0; --rg-radius: 10px; --rg-radius-sm: 7px; /* Warm-toned shadows (brown cast, not cool blue) */ --rg-shadow: 0 12px 30px rgba(120, 92, 45, 0.14); --rg-shadow-sm: 0 4px 14px rgba(120, 92, 45, 0.09); --rg-serif: Georgia, "Iowan Old Style", "Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif; color: var(--rg-ink); } /* Warm page background on the Reading Guide templates (collection + book).
