How this fits with other visual systems

Site styles control layout, framing, and shape.
They do not change typography or how colors are applied.

Typography options and color roles are chosen separately and work consistently across all site styles. This separation allows you to adjust the visual structure of your site without affecting text styling or color behavior.

Accessibility

All site styles are designed to meet accessibility requirements.
Differences between styles are visual, not functional. Each style uses the same accessible components, interaction patterns, and content structure.

Choosing a site style does not change keyboard behavior, focus order, or semantic markup. Accessibility is handled at the component and platform level, not by individual styles.
