It also shows up well in error states, shipment tracking headers, and limited-time badges because the saturation feels controlled, not frantic. The mood is active and bright, like motion you can trust, which is why it's the one you reach for when À l' feels too mild and feels too disciplined.

One quirk: it can feel almost molten on warm backgrounds, so it likes cool neutrals or near-black type nearby to keep the edges crisp.
