FYI, there are updates to the mediawiki.ui color variables at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/117105/. The change is about 3 months
old, but hasn't been merged yet :( Maybe someone on the Growth team could
take a look at it.

Hi all,
This is a heads up about some of the things the Growth team is thinking
about and working on with mediawiki.ui.
1. We're in the process of adding optional icon support for
mediawiki.ui buttons, with browser support down to IE8.[A]
2. We're going to get rid of the text shadow on the default
mediawiki.ui buttons.[B] It's distracting and doesn't increase readability.
We don't use gradients in the colored buttons for similar reasons.
3. We need to do some tweaking of the design of the default
mediawiki.ui button.[D] We're designing the second iteration of the
anonymous editor signup invitation UI to A/B test.[E] When looking at
these, you can see that the default mediawiki.ui button ("continue
editing") almost seems disabled. We should talk about ways to improve on
this design, such as darkening the text color or giving the default button
a background color.
This may come up in the WMF UX team's weekly design review as well, but I
wanted to give a heads up about these issues since the library is in
MediaWiki core.
