Sometimes you may have a button (or other control) that can have a different appearance depending on the different focus statuses. For example, the default status without focus is a grey image, whereas when the mouse hovering over it becomes blue.

Finally, when the button is activated using the tab key to tab into the button and the mouse is somewhere else, it has a fourth color.
