   Quarry Orthodontics - brand layer for the blog theme
   Loaded LAST (after Style_main.css / style.css / bootstrap) so it wins.
   Palette (taken from the Quarry logo + quarryorthodontics.com):
     teal  #83a7ad   deep #527177   darker #43636a   ink #3c403f   tint #e8f3f5
   Font: Open Sans (same as the main site)
   Header + footer rules are copied from the main site's style.css, the
   footer element is scoped as .q-footer so the old theme rules cannot leak.
