Add opacity: 0.6 to all disabled button variants (primary, secondary, tertiary) to provide a non-color visual indicator of the disabled state. This addresses WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color) by ensuring button state changes are not conveyed through color alone. Users who cannot perceive color differences can now distinguish disabled buttons through the reduced opacity.

Summary
Fixes WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color) by adding opacity to disabled button states across all variants.
Issue: Button state changes (enabled/disabled) were indicated solely through color changes (red border → grey border), creating a barrier for users with color vision deficiencies.
Solution: Added
opacity: 0.6to all disabled button variants (primary, secondary, tertiary) in the z-button component. This provides a visual indicator independent of color that clearly distinguishes disabled buttons.Impact
This fix applies to all z-button components across Zanichelli applications, including:
Users with color vision deficiencies, low vision, or viewing content in monochrome will now be able to identify disabled buttons without relying on color perception.
