Please confirm the deletion of this album: And since it is a confirmation modal, the wording should probably change to something like: we can deduce that this is not a success or error modal, but rather it is a confirmation modal, which implies a warning or caution color like yellow, not green or red, as success and error colors imply respectively.
Contextīefore deleting an album, the user is asked to confirm the action. With all due respect, I think every answer so far has missed the mark somewhat.įirst of all, based on the Context section of your question.
stop lights indicate to me that green means "continue." Using this rationale you could say a green "No, keep it button" means "No, keep it and continue" and a red "Yes, delete it" means "Yes, delete it even though it's dangerous." Anyhow, I would consider making the "No, keep it" button blue because it is a pretty standard action color (for instance it is the default color of unstyled links).Įdit: I think has the best answer on this. Are you restricted to using green/red? If so I would recommend using your second image. To me (and to bootstrap) green indicates success, red indicates danger.Īs deleting is a dangerous action I would recommend keeping the delete button red. A quick Google image search for "delete" yields almost entirely red images. Red has typically been associated with danger, potentially dating back to the middle ages (citation needed).
I'm not so sure you should be thinking only in terms of red and green.
