I reported a bug yesterday that the colours disappeared. Why "What you
should see: Something that doesn't look like a tricolor."? Please tell
me why.

"Yeah, sure. Let's make from this phone a Nokia 3210. Grey, black and
white. I mean it is not about how does it looks like if You prefer it
red, yellow, green etc. it is about contrast. I do not know where did
You learn programming but my teacher was always telling me that icon and
colours are better to work with and to memorize than grey/white terminal
alike buttons. Let's say it straight: if I wanted to switch off my phone
i clicked a red button, I rebooted it with a green one and cancelled
with a black one. Now what You did is You forced people to READ and
reading from a small screen is bad idea. Let's preceed this way ladies
and gentlemen: let's remove all icons and replace them with strings!
Small grey buttons with strings to read. Do You remember GNOME 2? The
menu with lists? If You wanted to start a program from this menu, did
You looked for strings or icons? I bet You do not know unless You
changed the language in Your systems or what far better the theme
especially to something as extreme as Ubuntu Satanic edition. Our brain
works better with symbols, icons and colours. That's why someone created
Gnome or KDE instead of reading things from a terminal.

I ai no idea if You're gonna leave it this way but I reported this but
not because I didn't liked the colours. I reported it cause now while
switching off my phone I have to READ what to click. My intuition
doesn't work any more.

Best regards GTriderXC"

Title:
  [Dialogs] Power dialog looks like a tricolor

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  In Progress
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1. Hold down the Power button.

  What you see: A "Power" dialog appears with a stack of three buttons:
  "Power off" in red, "Restart" in green, and "Cancel" in black. The
  effect is that of a tricolor flag.

  What you should see: Something that doesn't look like a tricolor.

  Possible solutions include:
  * Reducing the number of colors.
  * Changing to horizontal icon-only buttons (bug 1377146).
  * Abolishing the dialog somehow.
