- Too bright and attention-grabbing

### After
- All error states use Swizzle burgundy-red `#8B3653`
- Consistent with overall brand identity
- Professional and cohesive appearance
- Matches gradient colors in header

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Red color still showing as #dc3545
**Solution**: Clear browser cache or hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R)

### Issue: Colors not updating
**Solution**: Verify CSS version numbers updated in blade templates
```html
<!-- Should be v3 -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/dashboard-branding.css?v=3')}}">
```

### Issue: Some elements still use old color
**Solution**: Check if element has inline styles or more specific CSS rules. Add override to dashboard-branding.css with higher specificity.
