A chip labels one fact. A badge is a count and means nothing without the thing it is attached to. A tile is the neutral square a glyph sits in — and the rule that colour never fills it.
Chips
NeutralAccentOn titleSuccessInfoCautionDanger
muted is the design's "on title" case — a record that exists but is not drawn on the map. It reads as present-but-quieter rather than as a different kind of thing.
Removable
Publisher: Brisbane City
A filter chip in a table toolbar. The remove control takes its own accessible name, because "×" announces as nothing.
Cartographic swatches
The square is deliberately NOT the chip's own colour.

These hexes come from the DATA — a council publishes them and the map draws them — so they are passed in raw rather than tokenised. A design system does not get to choose what colour a flood overlay is.
Badges
54299+
`max` defaults to 99. An unbounded count breaks the pill's width and, past about a hundred, stops being information — "99+" and "412" prompt the same action.
Tiles
A rounded square holding one icon. It appears in list rows, approval stacks, alerts, file rows and search results, and it is one component rather than five because the rule it enforces is a system rule.
Neutral is the default and the norm. The filled tones are for status alerts only — a message ABOUT the view, not a subject in it.
