2. Border Thickness: 2px = single item, 4px = collection
3. Consistent System: All content follows same patterns
4. Future-Proof: Easy to add new content types (just pick a color!)
5. Dark Optimized: All colors pop on dark navy background

Adding New Content Types

When adding a new content type:

1. Pick a color with semantic meaning
2. Check contrast on #101726 background (use WebAIM contrast checker)
3. Test with existing colors to ensure distinction
4. Choose border - 2px (single) or 4px (collection)
5. Document the meaning so it's intuitive to users

Example:

• Physical Goods/Merch → Green

  #10B981

  (growth, physical, earthy)
• Podcast Episodes → Magenta

  #D946EF

  (audio, talk, voice)
