This page describes Dirtbag’s global style variations. It previews the colours in content, but it does not change the active site style.
To do that, use Appearance → Editor → Styles.
The preview panels are plain HTML sections with stable fragment links. No accordion state, Alpine, Reef, VanJS, or Dirtbag script is needed.
Colour style sections
Minimalist
White page, black ink, blue link.
A plain blue link and a square button belong here.
Evokes: a hand-typed label, a motel receipt, instructions taped inside the glove box.
Newspaper
Ink, paper, and a 1974 10¢ Patrick Henry maroon stamp.
Classifieds-grade accent link.
Evokes: free weeklies, folded zines, events circled with a gas-station pen.
Terminal
C:\DIRTBAG\ROAD> type README.TXT
Evokes: MS-DOS prompts, hand-labelled floppies, a monitor that warms the room before your PC boots.
Amber CRT
Late-night amber, no window chrome.
Evokes: library VT220 terminals, shop invoices, and the hum after everyone else went home.
Blueprint
Navy field, white line, cyan mark.
Evokes: garage floor plans, a borrowed t-square, and a truck bed full of almost-right lumber.
Hi-vis
Safety yellow with black type.
Evokes: caution tape, rain gear, and a no-name yellow box of mac-and-cheese next to the hot plate.
