If we often use red in software to warn someone to think before interacting with something, like a delete button for example, why do serious power tools like circular bench saws have big red buttons to cut the power in emergency situations?
Surely you want the user to think as little as possible about what they are wanting to do before stopping a machine that might be causing serious injury or death.
Which of the above is getting it right? Or is there some fundamental difference between the two situations that means red in software makes people think about what they are to do but red in real life makes you react as quick as possible?
