🏗️🔧：bring the navbar into the palette - #1836
Merged

Conversation
The navbar is `bg-dark`, and until now that meant Bootstrap's #212529, a colour this palette never chose. Against parchment nobody could tell. Put a dark section directly under it, as the home page does, and a cool grey sits on our warm ink and reads as a mistake rather than a choice. Our dark is the ink, so `$dark` says so. `bg-dark` is the only thing derived from it that any template uses, so the navbar is the whole visible effect.

The navbar carries Bootstrap's
bg-dark, which meant Bootstrap's own#212529— a colour this palette never chose.
_sublime-theme.scssnames four colours,an ink and a parchment, and that grey is none of them.
Against parchment it does not show. Put a dark section directly under the
navbar, as the home page in #1833 does, and the seam is obvious:
bg-dark#212529$body-color#1d1916Two darks of near-equal lightness with opposite hue casts, meeting on an edge.
It reads as something gone wrong rather than as a decision.
The change
Our dark is the ink, so the palette says so. Bootstrap derives
--bs-dark-rgband
bg-darkfrom$dark, so the navbar follows without touching any markupand without an
!importantto fight the utility.Scope
bg-darkis the only$dark-derived class any template uses, and it appearsonce:
No
text-dark,btn-dark,border-darkortable-darkanywhere. So thenavbar is the entire visible effect, on every page. Against parchment the
difference is slight; under the home page's masthead it is the point.

#1833 wants this. The home page is what exposes the mismatch, and it will look
seamed until this lands.
