   Pure CSS custom properties, no images. Applied via a data-color attribute
   on .nch-category-card / .nch-job-card; children inherit the three
   variables automatically (custom properties cascade), so badges/icons
   inside a colored card don't need their own data-color attribute.
   Anything with an unrecognized/missing data-color falls back to the
   neutral brand blue via the var(--x, fallback) pattern used below. */
