The new design from bug 1036284 is nice but the new red and italic font used for pinned tiles looks quite cheap. I don't see it in the PDF from bug 1030832 either.

The red font does seem to grab a lot more attention than necessary and doesn't play nicely with the blue border, imo.

Where does this come from? Is that really the desired style? Can we talk about this again?

FTR, found the red font on page 7 in the aforementioned PDF file.
Since the background of the pin button remains blue when a tile gets pinned, might I suggest using dark blue text instead?
Besides the title-colors(red == error, imho), shouldn't the border-radius use the color specified as an highlight-color(eg. in OS X, System Preferences > General).

afaik. most_ parts in Firefox respect this property?
Here's a screenshot with using #4A4A4A (the color we use when hovering unpinned tiles) as the default color for pinned tiles. I like that a little more and the difference is more subtle.

Nod. https://bug1030832.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8446620 Page 7 "And this is what pinned tiles should look like." And bug 1037341 comment 1

The pinned state will actually end up being black (#231f20) and the blue pinned is only on hover: https://bug1036284.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8454562

But that seems reasonable to make the pinned text be the same #231f20.
Here's how things look with the same color as the pinned state (#231f20) and various options of bold and italics.
Ok, I'm over the italics. Keep the bold. Make it blue.

Which blue? And will it clash with the sponsored/ad text that potentially overlaps with the title text? https://bug1040369.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8461277

The label should NOT be blue or say "Ad". The only label we are doing is gray text on off-white.

The title of a pinned tiles should be bold and HEX# 2C72C4 (dark blue).
