/* ============================================================================
   GSC-TEMPC FAQ — PREMIUM EDITORIAL SYSTEM  (green + white palette pass)
   File: assets/css/faq_modern.css   (REPLACE THE WHOLE FILE)

   Scope of this revision: colour and background only. Layout, markup hooks,
   JS hooks and the approved FAQ master hero are unchanged.

   What changed
   - Background now follows the homepage sections: white -> pale green
     (#F2F8F0 -> #E3F0E0) with the same two soft leaf-green washes as About Us.
     The intro ends on #E3F0E0 and the directory starts on it, so the page
     reads as one continuous field that settles to white behind the long
     question lists.
   - Headings use forest #1F5A2D (the old logo green #30AA28 on white was
     below 4.5:1). Filled controls use action green #27883A (white text 4.5:1).
   - Gold #D6B56D is kept for rules, rings and borders only. Small gold text
     is now green, because gold text on white/pale green is hard to read.
