Sorry, "Interface". Human interest guidelines lead to the horror of Daily Mail Online :-) If Quiet and Neutral aren't sufficient Shahyar prototyped at least two more > excellent ideas (I can't find the link right now...) > http://area51.yar.gs/wmf/flow1/ To repeat, a page would only use a subset of these at any one time, ignore the overstuffed appearance.

Obviously design is for users. But having a pleasant productive time using a design and understanding its nuances are very different things. "Testing with your users to see if they understand the difference between [two button colors]" seems crazy (unless I misunderstand what designers mean by "understand"). Does Google test to see if users understand the difference between the rounded edge and the shadowed edge in Material? I really doubt it. Different colors and treatments provide different experiences, and there are guidelines when to use them. > Wasn't the whole point of the colours is to call the users' attention to > them, and the point of differentiating is to tell the users that these are > different things? > Sort of, and yes. -- =S Page WMF Tech writer
