/* ==============================================================================
   TOPTRONIC T10142.com — Vertical Message Ticker styles (Build #1480)
   Navy/gold adaptation of the sister-site ticker: the box stays MAXIMUM
   contrast (white on black 21:1, gold #e6b422 on black ~10:1, WCAG AAA).
   Colours are deliberately hardcoded, not theme tokens — the ticker must
   look identical on every page regardless of section theming.
