   CompareHomez.com — design tokens
   Palette pulled from the brand mark: deep navy roofline + green roofline.
   Type: Space Grotesk (display, geometric, a little technical — fits
   a "compare/quote" tool) paired with Inter (body, quiet workhorse).
   Signature element: the 3-step "Compare → Quote → Hire" rail, which
   mirrors the tagline and is a genuine sequence, not decoration.
