   BG Fresh — Homepage styles

   NOTE ON !important:
   The base theme (wp-content/themes/bg-fresh/style.css) declares
   `h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 { color: var(--black) !important; }` which forces
   all headings to ink unless we match its priority. Section-level
   heading colors below therefore use !important, scoped tightly so
   they only override inside the homepage sections we own.
