<object data='mark.svg'> renders the SVG inside its own document — currentColor there resolves against that document's own body, not the parent page's. The hero mark was coming out black on dark and the on-acid/amber cells couldn't re-colour the glyph. Inlining the SVG puts the <svg> in the same document as .mark-xl / .mark-neg / .mark-amber, so each container's color tokens drive the stroke. Also added an amber (unread-badge) swatch to the mark grid so the Hermes accent colour has a visible example alongside the Silent Mode acid green. Link downloads to mark.svg / mark-stroke.svg are unchanged — the files still ship as standalone assets for third-party reuse.

<h2>The name</h2>
|
||
<p>In English the product is <b>Hermes</b> — after the Greek god of messengers,
|
||
travellers, and crossings. In modern Greek the same name is <b>Ermis</b>
|
||
(Ἑρμῆς). Both pronunciations are correct; written form is always Hermes
|
||
outside Greek contexts.</p>
|
||
<p>The keyboard shortcut inside Theseus is <code class="inline">Ctrl+Shift+E</code> —
|
||
E for Ermis, and off the collision path with Chrome's own Ctrl+Shift+M
|
||
("switch profile").</p>
|
||
<div class="note warn" style="margin-top:1rem"><b>Not Hermès.</b> The French
|
||
fashion house owns the mental model for the word with the grave accent and
|
||
the orange. We spell it <b>Hermes</b> (no accent) and we do not use that
|
||
orange. If a visitor confuses the two, the mark alone should set them
|
||
straight.</div>

inherits whatever text colour it sits in.</p>

<p class="lede">Hermes rides on Silent Mode's colour system — same acid green,

same deep panels — so it never looks like a separate app glued on.

One extra accent, warm amber, is reserved for Hermes-specific moments

(unread badge, "winged sandals" nod). <b>Not</b> Hermès orange.</p>
