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.
