I used to think icons can help explaining what function a button has.
Untill I met Maya, there are so many icons in Maya, I had to learn what the function did before even starting to understand the icon.
In blender there are buttons with and without icons. The window button for example has icons. This is done for space, an icon takes up less space than a word.
Colors in the blender buttons are used for a function.
Green buttons are displaying/changing blenders toggle variables. (OSA, shadow, Autosmooth)
Flat grey buttons change number variables. (sliders, numbers)
Yellow buttons start functions, and change the data structure. (Apply, Make, Assign)
Purple buttons are mayor settings or tab buttons.
Grey pop-up, they are new and are pretty much the same as the green ones except they pop a list.
