Sister to Event Horizon but darker and denser; the turquoise accent keeps the two distinguishable.\n- **Forge Merchantman** — Patina bronze on workshop slate, warm amber counter. Hellion Forge given a theme of its own — sister to Hellion Arctic but greener and warmer instead of cold cyan.\n- **Hellion Spectrum** — Deuteran/Protan-safe channel colours using Wong/Okabe-Ito palette tones. Channel identity (Tell pink, Yell yellow, Shout orange, Party blue, FC green) is preserved; tones are chosen so each channel stays distinguishable under red-green colour vision deficiency. Covers the ~99% of CVD cases that are red-green.\n\nNo schema bump, no migration. Default theme is unchanged (Hellion Arctic). Existing custom themes keep working.\n\nBased on Chat 2 1.35.3 (upstream Infiziert90/ChatTwo, EUPL-1.2).\n\n---\n\nEarlier history: https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/releases",
