What is a good color for a button?
Plenty of people will tell you that red is the best color because it conveys urgency and evokes excitement, or that green works best because “green means go”. Meanwhile, Unbounce suggests that a BOB (big orange button) is ideal because orange “represents energy, enthusiasm, and a 'get-it-done' attitude.”
What does a download icon look like?
Icon with a blue dot: The blue dot indicates a new app download. It will appear when a new app or app update is finished downloading and has not been opened yet by the user.
Should download be a link or button?
A hyperlink is correct and expected behaviour. As your link text contains the word "download" there will be no confusion, you do not need to do anything else. However there are additional pieces of information for downloads that you should include if you are able such as document type and file size.
