What is happening in the first screenshot under "Command approvals and prompt fatigue"?

Why is "Allow Once" completely red, "Always allow" is black and "Deny" is muted red? Isn't the order of safety (descending) "Deny", "Allow Once" and "Always Allow"?

I think it's something to do with macos dark mode and accent colors.. So allow once is highlighted because it's the default option if you press enter. The next button is dark because it's themed and people (errr LLMs) who wrote the code didn't consider that a button should be distinct from the background theme of the window. And finally the other one's text is red because it's a dangerous action.
