### Changed
+- Default `instance.theme` flipped from `navy` to `blue`. The brand-blue
+ palette is now the out-of-the-box look; `navy` (dark hero + mint-green

+ to blue.
- `/home` palette shifted from blue to green/navy: brand accent is now
`#2ea877` (mint green) on light surfaces, hero card is navy
