When does a button become lighter or darker?
Taking the examples from Material design – buttons my impression is that buttons become darker if they are light and lighter if they are dark: Raised buttons: the button becomes a little more dark but the main difference is that the shadow makes it look like it raises.
Exactly what change that is, is more of a design or aesthetic question than a usability one. Let say that you have the more common scenario of dark text and no other part of the design changes on hover and it’s the background only, then when you hover, the button should be given a highlight.
