Yeah, we are already using this concept with new designs. Confirmation actions are emphasized (eg. full color). Secondary actions are not (eg. transparent background). Confirmation of any actions, even if destructive, would also follow the same pattern.

The accepted answer is totally right, the destructive action should be red, and the other action should be a normal neutral colored button. It's not like you are being asked to either delete (red) or create (green), it's a question of delete (red) or take no action (neutral).

Interesting the second image, where the primary call to action is Delete (and red) and secondary actions are deemphasized I think are closer to where we want to be. I don't think we can make blanket statements but rather establish best practices and examples of how to use these controls. I can say that anything that deletes content should either be destructive (red) or neutral (white/grey) and never green (complementary) or blue (progressive)

This is relevant to the mediawiki.ui questions that have come up about when to use the "destructive" button class.
