Problem Description
For https://github.com/phetsims/QA/issues/580. Does not occur in published.
The restart timer button on the timer is disabled while it is in the toolbox since the timer is at 0. However, in Safari, what that looks like in the box and out of the box is different. In the box, the button is darker. Out of the box, and in other browsers, the button is lighter.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the timer restart button behavior in Safari on the listed MacBook Air and iPad environments, comparing the button in and out of the toolbox. Trace the timer restart button entry point and compare its disabled appearance with Chrome and published versions. Done means the disabled button has consistent coloring in Safari, both inside and outside the toolbox.
