/*
 * Stylesheet for Akash Banerjee’s portfolio website.
 *
 * The design uses translucent panels, blurred backgrounds and smooth animations.
 * A light tonal backdrop along with a cool blue accent highlights interactive
 * elements. The style aims to reflect and refract surrounding colours while
 * drawing focus to content. Colour schemes rely on neutral bases such as grays
 * and beiges, with accent hues derived from background colours.
