[✔] Why are the reply and submit buttons red?

It feels so... negative? I'd imagine a delete post button to bed red, or maybe an unsubscribe button, but... reply?

I do realize it's actually pink but with the pastel theme we have going that's pretty much this site's red. :neutral:

Also, in the quick reply box, it's suddenly blue.

Some buttons are pink to put emphasis on primary actions.
We still use full green and red to show status, even though the site's colours are pink, purple, and blue, so I am not concerned with the primary buttons being more red than regular buttons.

It is confusing to highlight multiple, separate actions. The primary action of a topic is to reply, quick reply is there for convenience.
The quick reply's buttons are also just weird in a lot of ways. They are out of order if you consider them to be continue, cancel buttons for posting. But they are in order if you consider them based off of where they direct you (current page vs next). I would consider submit the quick reply's primary action to be submit. But full editor takes you to the same page as "reply", so should those colours match, even though full editor is the secondary option?

I'm still working on all the buttons so it may change in the future.

I also noticed that the new buttons are very mobile-friendly!

I was wondering why the buttons are bigger but that makes perfect sense now! Maybe I will start using my mobile now... that is so helpful!
