After UI update, class='Vibrant Success' button is blue instead of green. How can I make the button green again?

I like the new UI update but after the update, buttons using  class='Vibrant Success' in Rich Text Field are blue instead of green. How can I make the button green again? Thanks.

Hey All,
Our initial thought was to change all of Vibrant Success, including the Save and New Record buttons, to be blue. We received feedback from customers tested with that in many cases they have text on their forms literally saying "Click the big green button to save this record". So, we preserved the green for those two instances, but shifted to the blue color scheme for the rest. 

Personally, I think it's an issue if you need to spell out the color of the save button to get people to click it, but for this release we didn't want to alter functionality at all, only change styling, so this is the compromise we arrived at.

    Sam, 

    The level of instruction needed (i.e. 'Push the green button') is indicative of the technical level of the "lowest common denominator" user utilizing applications built on Quick Base. We - the whole community, not just my company - build applications for users that have a difficult time understanding what the address bar or a browser is and can rarely differentiate between Quick Base and the applications built on it. And when your team pulls stunts like eliminating a fairly common standard (i.e. Success button = Green) it looks as though your team has forgotten this and makes our lives that much more difficult.

    It's especially ludicrous that you would keep the green buttons for yourself, but change the success class to blue. If you're keeping the +New and Save buttons as green, what's the real reason to get rid of the Success class?
