- Update header logo with indigo-600/400 for strong brand presence
- Apply muted indigo (80% opacity) to footer for subtle reinforcement
- Use soft indigo (50% opacity) for 404 page floating ghost
- Add CSS custom properties --ghost-brand for easy color management
- Different intensities create visual hierarchy while maintaining consistency

The indigo color (#6366f1) matches our favicon and adds personality
while keeping the overall design professional and clean.

- Increased ghost body size from 8-unit to 12-unit radius in 32x32 icon
- Ghost now playfully breaks out of the circular boundary
- Proportionally enlarged all elements (eyes, binary dots)
