I've updated my original article to refer to your points, as they really should be read together with my article for completeness. Dan Thanks for the link John, and for a very well written article.

I believe red and to a lesser degree orange have been shown to trigger an impulsive response in people. So all other things being equal (contrast, etc) the red button might still likely show the highest CTR. Of course as you alluded to, if your design uses a predominantly red/orange color scheme then that red or orange button isn't going to attract the same kind of attention. The results Dan saw were likely a combination of the impulsive color and the contrast. John, everything you say is true, but I want to add one point.
