Comment (by azaozz):

 > In general, we have a standing expectation that these controls will be
 red & have text that clearly indicates the action to be taken, but this
 should be reviewed for consistency.

 Right, this is the standard expectation (afaik).

 Unfortunately there are other inconsistencies with this. One was
 introduced during the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&keywords=~needs-post-
 mortem 5.3-beta ill-fated CSS enhancements]. When the "Midnight" admin
 color scheme is selected, all form elements get a heavy red border when in
 focus. See the above screenshot. This is very confusing as red borders are
 also used to indicate dangerous/destructive actions.

 Looking at it more, there are numerous other inconsistencies/regressions
 that were introduced in 5.3-beta when using one of the optional admin
 color schemes (was kind of hoping that the people that introduced them
 will also fix them but that doesn't seem to be the case). Will open
 tickets for them.
