/* Paarl Blinds — winelands-town / full-bleed hero + marquee / sea-glass green + salt white
   + rope beige / Bitter + Nunito Sans.
   Signature motif: Paarl Rock's granite ridge draws itself across the hero horizon on
   load, and a thin gold "sun-path" rail threads through every section divider — a small
   sun marker slides along it as you scroll the page, top to bottom, echoing the way the
   Berg River valley's sun swings from the eastern to the western flank of the mountain
   each day. This is unique to Paarl Blinds; no sibling site uses this device. */
