Colour system
The Mzizi palette is two systems. Seven minerals carry brand meaning — each has a role and belongs to one of two families. Seven heritage tones are atmospheric anchors for surfaces and mood. Every value here is sourced live from the design database and is theme-adaptive across light and dark.
Grouped by family — the structure of the system, not a flat list.
