- Body typography (deep coffee ink): #2A1810
- Primary accent for icons + key numbers: Pacific blue #1B5E7A
- Secondary accent: muted sandstone #B8975A

## Adjustment hints
- **To re-render at higher resolution**: this script already requests 4K; if rendering quality is off, increase resolution by editing the `--size 4K` flag in generate-all.ts to a future tier
- **To adjust color temperature**: change `accent` and `secondary` hex codes in the SPECS entry for cuesta-activities.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts cuesta-activities.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for cuesta-activities.png; the prompt rebuilds automatically
- **To shift layout (vertical vs grid)**: append a layout directive after the BODY paragraph in buildPrompt(); re-run
- **To swap iconography**: edit the `iconography` array in SPECS
