/* =================================================================
   ABOUT PAGE — bespoke styling (v3)
   Every colour, gradient and font references the dynamic theme
   tokens declared in css/stylenew.css. Changing a school's brand
   palette in  School Settings → Theme & Brand Colours  instantly
   re-skins the entire about page.

   Font sizes are kept in lock-step with the rest of the site
   (admissions.php uses .pg-hero / .pg-section-* / .pg-btn etc.
   from stylenew.css; the about page uses its own .ab-* classes
   but the size scale here mirrors that one — see comments next
   to each font-size rule).
