Design recommendations

Image chips contain actions which relate to a chosen image. Image chips work well to communicate a more specific look and feel.
Chip(
...
label = {
Text(
text = "Summer Mix",
maxLines = 1,
overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis
)
},
colors = ChipDefaults.imageBackgroundChipColors(
backgroundImagePainter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.clouds)
)
)

Use avatar chips for actions that are related to a chosen avatar. Avatar chips can also have icons used to make the avatar more easily recognizable, such as a contact ID photo. Avatar icons are 32x32dp.
Chip(
...
label = {
Text(text = "Mark Castle")
},
icon = {
Icon(
painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.avatar),
contentDescription = null,
modifier = Modifier.size(ChipDefaults.LargeIconSize)
.wrapContentSize(align = Alignment.Center)
)
}
)
Related components

The related component, CompactChip is a variant of the Chip component that appears smaller and is designed for use cases where there is less space. Compact chips have a slot for an icon and a slot for a single line text label. Compact chips have a tappable area with a height of 48dp.
Hierarchy

Use different color fills to denote chip hierarchy. Design each screen to contain a single prominent chip for the primary action.
High emphasisUse high-emphasis chips for actions that are primary to the page. Use primary colors as the fill of a high emphasis chip.
Medium emphasis
Use medium emphasis chips for actions that are less important than the primary
actions. Use secondary colors for the fill of a medium emphasis chip.
Alternatively, use the custom OutlinedChip component. The outlined chip has a transparent background, a primary variant colored stroke of 60% opacity, and primary colored content.
Low emphasis
Low emphasis chips have a transparent fill and only a text label. Use low
emphasis chips to indicate a child relationship to a primary or secondary
chip.
