Sorry, "Interface". Human interest guidelines lead to the horror of Daily
Mail Online :-)
If Quiet and Neutral aren't sufficient Shahyar prototyped at least two more
excellent ideas (I can't find the link right
now...)

of these at any one time, ignore the overstuffed appearance.

If users aren't the ones we are designing for, then who is?
Obviously design is for users. But having a pleasant productive time using
a design and understanding its nuances are very different things. "Testing
with your users to see if they understand the difference between [two
button colors]" seems crazy (unless I misunderstand what designers mean by
"understand"). Does Google test to see if users understand the difference
between the rounded edge and the shadowed edge in Material? I really doubt
it. Different colors and treatments provide different experiences, and
there are guidelines when to use them.
Wasn't the whole point of the colours is to call
the users' attention to
them, and the point of differentiating is to tell the users that these are
different things?
Sort of, and yes.
