Designing an interface for a CMS (Content Management System), I stumbled upon a paradox and I'm a bit confused about what to do and why to do it..
Before deleting an album, the user is asked to confirm the action.
Green "Yes"
Red "Yes"
Which option is more intuitive for the user?
Answer
Both ways seem to pose a false-positive paradigm. This can be simpler and not have to force the user to spend time making sense of the color-to-label association.
Simply make the "Delete" button more prominent. Make the "Cancel" button less prominent. In regards to the labeling within the buttons, there is no need to put much context into what essentially are simple actions (no/yes? or cancel/delete) as that requires more processing on the users part.
Users will usually associate an action such as "Remove" or "Delete" to red. And, as always, provide a way to "cancel" the action.
