In general aviation aircraft the important levers/buttons are all explicitly sized/shaped/coloured differently to avoid confusion. The last thing you want to happen is come in for landing, reduce your throttle and discover that you've accidentally pulled the mixture/cut-off to kill the engine.
Fortunately that's the kind of mistake you only make once ...
