The canvas is paper-green, not white. White is spent on purpose: it means this is evidence.

Volt appears exactly four times in the whole home page, once in each of its four permitted roles: one highlighted word in the H1, one figure per data block, one primary CTA per dark band, and the footer TLD. It is L 0.969, so it is dark-only: a fill on a dark band, or a mark behind dark ink. Amber is the single non-green hue and means one thing: on record, not yet obtainable.
