Subject: [PATCH] Refine color palette for professional-yet-irreverent look

- Swap neon green (#39FF14) for refined emerald (#34D399)
- Add warm amber accent (#FBBF24) for badges, highlights, fun-facts
- Darken background to charcoal-brown (#141210) for more depth
- Soften glow effects (less rave, more premium)
- Reduce floating emoji count and opacity
- Green-to-gold gradient on hero text
- Subtler card hover effects with border transitions
- Tone down animations (slower, less travel distance)
