Short answer
Pink pork or beef can be safely finished; grey chicken can still be under. Juice colour and a brown surface both lie. Confirm with a probe in the thickest part, away from bone, then rest. Follow the stricter local rule for poultry and for mince. Do not treat a colour word as a temperature.
