Decorative styling that implies meaning
=======================================

Forbidden:
  List items in assorted colours chosen for variety; a decorative icon beside a heading that looks pressable; a heading coloured and underlined though it is not a link

Instead:
  Style carries information or it goes. People assume differences mean something — arbitrary colour invites them to hunt for a pattern that does not exist, and an icon that looks interactive will be clicked.

Decoration is allowed. Decoration that mimics a functional signal is not.
