Different hover color on WordPress Version 5.4.2

I found different colors on the theme search tab and Feature Filter hover.

Please check the attached screenshot.

Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac!

For reference, the background color on the Appearance item on the screenshot is #0073aa, while the color of the Feature Filter button is rgb(46, 162, 204), which translates to #2ea2cc.

At a glance, it seems like the Feature Filter button color should be updated to match the menu item color:

• #0073aa appears to be the main highlighting color, per wp-admin/css/colors/_variables.scss.
• rgb(46, 162, 204) is not used anywhere else except for that Feature Filter button.

I do remember this was a design choice, as the Filter button needs to be differentiated from the "Featured – Popular – Latest – Favorites" links (sic: they should be buttons).

However, it's maybe time to rethink the loog of the Filter button, as it is an exception in tue UI and doesn't help consistency.

Can I create patch for these?

Thanks

Sure, but as this is marked as needs-design-feedback, I'd suggest waiting for some feedback from the Design Team first :)

…or on WordPress Version 5.4.2

• Changed background-color from rgb(46, 162, 204) to #0073aa on line 1142 of /wp-admin/css/common.css.

Being this a bug from 5.4. and the various updates to the colorsin the UI we have, the design team wonders if this is still valid?

In either case, we are removing the "needs design feedback" label because we prefer to maintain the design decisions that have been made after 5.4.2

The hover/focus color matches the admin menu blue background since 5.7.1 for the default color scheme:

• [50025] updated the menu item background to #2271b1.
• Then changeset 50687 switched the filter button hover color to the same blue for better contrast.

People might not expect that blue in other color schemes, but the reported issue is fixed.

Created to resolve merge conflicts and bring my fork current with WordPress: master. The PR itself is no longer relevant, so the actual merge request should be disregarded.
