Subject: [PATCH] Switch theme to Dark.Cobalt for readable accent colour
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Indigo 500 (#3F51B5) is too dark on black backgrounds. Cobalt (#0050EF)
is a bright electric blue that meets contrast requirements on dark
surfaces without needing lighter fallback shades.

Replaced all hardcoded #9FA8DA (Indigo 200 workaround) with
{DynamicResource MahApps.Brushes.Accent} now that the accent is
naturally readable — section headings, price labels, detail labels,
listing URL link.
