## JavaScript
```js
/* No JavaScript — accent glow blooms via box-shadow on :hover. */
```

How this works

The card is near-black with a thin cool-grey border for definition on a dark page. An accent-tinted filter: drop-shadow() / box-shadow gives a restrained glow that intensifies on hover, while a small accent-lit 'in stock' pill and a glowing price anchor the hierarchy.

All the colour lives in one --accent token, so the card retints (cyan for tech, green for crypto, violet for gaming) from a single value.

Make it yours

  • Retint everything from --accent — border-glow, pill, price and CTA all derive from it.
  • Raise/lower the hover glow via the box-shadow blur and spread for calmer or louder cards.
  • Swap the grey border for an accent border at low alpha for a more neon edge.
  • Add a spec row (chipset, RAM) below the name for a hardware-listing variant.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • On true-black OLED the glow reads much stronger than on charcoal — test against the exact surface you'll ship.
  • Keep body text near-white; dark cards fail contrast fast if secondary text goes too grey.
  • Large hover glows are cheap for one card but expensive across a full grid — reserve heavy blooms for hero items.
