Mission: Use reusable CSS values to give a field-note card a stable color system.
The :root rule defines reusable colors: --ink, --accent, and --paper. var(--accent) colors the note border and button hover. transition: background-color 180ms ease smooths that hover change; the button does not save data in this CSS-only demo.
Change --accent and run Preview to see both uses update. Restore the color, then hover the button to see the transition.
Checkpoint: the preview already shows the finished field note color system demo interface. The next lesson asks you to recreate its key rules from a small starter.
Keep the stylesheet linked from the document head.
Change one declaration at a time, then use Run Preview to inspect the result.
