Cathryn Lavery ba3062c5ba Repaint to jet-black + atomic-tangerine skin, add consultant-special 2×2
Why: the default skin was too warm/neutral and the pyramid + venn never
quite read the way they should. Also prepping for public sharing, so the
example diagrams needed to drop the littlemight-specific copy.

Changes:
- New five-color palette: jet-black ink, atomic-tangerine accent,
  white-smoke paper, blue-slate muted, silver hairlines. Replaces
  warm-stone + rust across every variant + dark-mode tokens.
- Default background is clean paper; dot grid + framed container are
  now opt-in variants (uncomment in template to enable).
- New consultant-special quadrant variant (example-quadrant-consultant.html)
  — 2×2 scenario matrix with named cells, double-ended axes, one focal
  quadrant; house skin, not a separate visual language.
- Pyramid redrawn as a true triangular silhouette with shared edges on
  one slope (stacked polygons on a single triangle outline, no kinks).
- Venn redesigned: dark-fill triple-intersection with white text,
  circle labels moved inside non-overlap lobes, pair-overlap labels
  removed, legend dropped.
- Example content genericized (content site / product timeline /
  content platform instead of littlemight-branded copy).
- Screenshots regenerated at 2× DPI; added quadrant-consultant.png
  (14th diagram in the gallery).
- README: hero-first opener, preserved Why-I-built-it section, UTM
  tags on littlemight + bestself links, palette description updated.
