BACKGROUND: Warm cream paper texture #F4ECDC throughout, with subtle hand-printed grain. NO white background.

- Primary accent for icons + key numbers: terracotta #C25E3B
- Secondary accent: sage #7E9A6F

The big numbers (like "249", "$1,200", "1,250 miles") should be BIG and prominent in #C25E3B, with smaller ink labels next to them. Use a clean geometric sans-serif for data labels and an elegant serif for the headline.

## Adjustment hints
- **To re-render at higher resolution**: this script already requests 4K; if rendering quality is off, increase resolution by editing the `--size 4K` flag in generate-all.ts to a future tier
- **To adjust color temperature**: change `accent` and `secondary` hex codes in the SPECS entry for chico-oncampus.png; re-run `bun generate-all.ts chico-oncampus.png`
- **To add/remove data points**: edit the `data` array in SPECS for chico-oncampus.png; the prompt rebuilds automatically
- **To shift layout (vertical vs grid)**: append a layout directive after the BODY paragraph in buildPrompt(); re-run
- **To swap iconography**: edit the `iconography` array in SPECS
