And you call it a good UX to have two background buttons on the same toolbar?
There will be much more confusion by people that won't understand the
difference between the two, or accidentally click on the wrong one.

Paragraph color is a valid formatting by itself, and is not deprecated in any
way. It makes no sense to "alert the user" about legitimate formatting. The
software can't read user's mind, and has no way to determine if some formatting
was done by mistake or by intention.

This won't be correct, as paragraph color and cell color are two different
things.

User mistakes happen from time to time, and there's nothing "discouraging" in
closing such bugs, given that a nice comment is added with explanation of the
confusion and what caused it.
