   Fil-Am World Magazine — design system
   "Our People. Our Lives. Our World."
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Colour is taken directly from the masthead logo: the azure globe, the
   flag gold of the lettering, and the red of the Philippine and US flags.

   The rule that drives the whole palette:
     · on light surfaces the accent is GLOBE BLUE
     · on dark surfaces the accent is FLAG GOLD
   Both are carried by one inherited custom property, --accent-local, so a
   component never has to know which kind of band it has been dropped into.
