Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing functions that use the tint, color, and theme prefixes, especially drawable and MaterialButton usages mentioned in the issue. Establish and document a consistent rule for when each verb should be used, then update the relevant developer guidance so new functions follow that rule.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Some functions use color as the prefix verb, others use theme or tint.

What is the pattern here? When should I use which verb when adding functions?

  • tint: currently used only with drawables. To apply a tint to the drawable.
  • color: ?? (Used e.g. with MaterialButtons to apply tint to them.)
  • theme ??
