Red is never a resting colour, so it does not mark danger. A choice that can’t be undone is told by its glyph and its words, and the destructive action is still the solid ink button.

A layer over the page keeps its 1px ink frame: it is a sheet laid over the page, not an item on it, and needs an edge against what is behind.
