Those are precisely the best times to use it.  It can make an
otherwise drab scene look just as it is intended.  The time when I
don't care for it, is when someone uses it to way overemphasize the
color - the classic is red rock Southern Utah (Arches, Bryce,
CanyonLands, etc) in nice strong lighting.  The resultant images are
way over the top.

Used correctly and prudently, Velvia can be a formidable tool.  Used
poorly, it can be a garish mess.
