Critical Rules (Read from guidelines)

  2. Contrast Requirements - Ensure sufficient contrast between background and text colors
  3. Base Shades Inversion - Dark theme inverts base shades: 50 is darkest, 900 is lightest
  4. Color Harmony - Keep same hue angle for primary, secondary, and base colors
