Yeah, usually the button they want you to press is the one that's colored.

If they want you to buy something, why make that the colorless one?

    That’s the point. They’re abusing that common knowledge. They know that you’ll glance at the buttons and in that split second, assume the white button is “cancel”, and click that. They’re hoping some of those errant clicks turn into sales
