Where Lizard works

Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
Branding: As a brand anchor it reads established and tactile; pair with a single vivid accent for energy.
Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
