Where Meat works

Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent. Pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece, a top, scarf, or shoes, against neutral basics.
Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks. Use sparingly in UI.
Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
Branding: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
