Comment (by afercia):

 For better clarity, please see the screenshot attached below.

 On the left: one of the built-in color schemes (Midnight): secondary
 buttons are grey, as expected.

 On the right: an additional color scheme: "Vinyard" from
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-color-schemes/ the Admin Color
 Schemes plugin]: secondary buttons are blue.

 This happens because the plugin still uses the color variable, as it is
 supposed to do. Instead, this change introduces a hardcoded color. No
 strong objections, though it goes a bit against the purpose of having
 color variables. If this is going to stay, it should be explained to
 plugin authors so they can use the new hardcoded color if they want.

 Worth also reminding that in the default color scheme, the secondary
 buttons are blue. Not sure why they should become grey win the built-in
 color schemes.
