I can’t remember the name for it, but there is a certain kind of switch design that’s meant to be visually ‘on’ when you’re turning something off.
The best example and how I learnt about this is the mute toggle on iPhones and the lock toggle on the old iPods.
When you turned the switch ‘on’ it turned the sound/buttons ‘off’.
The signify this special kind of ‘inverted’ switch, they put the orange colour on there. [1]
This is a rare use case but it does exist. And definitely shouldn’t be the default in the UI library
