   Design: "Register" — dark, but institutional rather than casino-garish.

   The audience expects dark; the subject demands credibility. So: near-black
   with a green cast, brass used sparingly as the single accent, and a separate
   verification green reserved for regulatory confirmations so a trust mark can
   never be mistaken for decoration.
