When quiet buttons are colored by default, what color is it?  If it's the
same as the second row of
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Control_Library#Buttons,
then the button has no mouseover state, so we've improved mobile and
degraded desktop.

Please add this to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Control_Library,
thanks. [1]

We have to name this new kind, is it mw-ui-quiet-colored instead of
mw-ui-quiet, or another modifier style?  class="mw-ui-button
mw-ui-progressive mw-ui-quiet mw-colored-default" is getting a bit long.

Cheers.

If people won't update them we need to rename them all "2013 NN Design
Proposal", and let the code comments that produce the living style guide be
authoritative.
