Making next logical steps more prominent and using color to do so in a
consistent way is a common practice. Google uses red (main actions), green
(sharing) and blue (navigation) as detailed in this talk
<http://vimeo.com/29965463>. Bootstrap components (widely used all around
the internet) use the same concept but with a different set of colors and
meanings <http://getbootstrap.com/components/>. And we can find many more
examples in existing UIs and design guidelines...
What I am wondering is which is the better way we can communicate this kind
of design decisions to our community? Is it enough to communicate the
rationale or more evidence will be needed? Is researching on specific UI
components (as opposed to the broader interaction problems those solve when
put together in a UI) the best area to invest our research and
communication efforts?

But as I was saying to Jon, it was easy to make the Facebook comment
because all they saw was a blue button, no other ones.
