Branding & identity

Pair it with a higher-contrast accent (warm if purple runs cool, cool if it runs warm) for visual hierarchy. Test legibility on both your logo and small UI text before locking it in — saturation that works on a 200px logo can feel overpowering at favicon scale.

Fashion & apparel
