I have made GUI applications in Tkinter and agree, buttons are grey,
and yet dialog boxes can have a number of icons in them, for warning,
information, in a mix of colours for example Yellow, red or green
depending on the context.
I am not sure if it is possible to add colour to the buttons, I will
look in to it. However there should be an agreed convention otherwise
an application with several buttons . We should consider accessibility
on this.
