For Remaining Bootstrap Pages

When migrating remaining pages from Bootstrap to Tailwind, use the new color palette:

1. Replace Bootstrap classes with Tailwind equivalents
2. Use navy, blue, light instead of custom colors
3. Maintain consistency with updated templates

For New Pages

1. Import the base layout to inherit color configuration
2. Use the predefined color classes consistently
3. Follow the usage examples above

📝 Notes

• The px-* colors (rose, orange) are still available in the config for backward compatibility
• Consider phasing out px-* colors in future updates for brand consistency
• All new development should use the Al Hammadi color palette exclusively
