Description

Parent: #14293

This is based from this comment from @osullivanchris within this PR.

Based on this reply comment from @ParaskP7 it seems that for the dark mode, the button and the control activated components (like checkboxes and switches) are not using the same default color (like primary_30, since the button's background for the dark theme is actually primary_50 instead). This needs to be further investigated and aligned upon.

Research direction

Start with parent issue #14293 and the discussion in PR #14467, especially the linked comments describing the dark-theme color mismatch. Trace how button and activated controls such as checkboxes and switches choose their dark-theme colors. Done means the components use the agreed default color consistently, with the relevant dark-theme behavior verified.
