Does green (usually these are blue) mean yes? Every time I see one of these I realize I don't understand them and I'm not even sure they are consistent in behavior. I usually use a context cue to infer what they mean. The dumbest part is there is plenty of room to just write "on" and "off" right on them.

I think it is no coincidence these are the preferred control for all manner of dark pattern setting screens.

Yes, green means "yes".

Now, does light-green mean "no" because it's light, or "yes" because it's green? That one you have to check on each application.
