### Description
Starting on the **Buy BTC** page, with for example a EUR fiat currency, everything is Green.
All buttons say (have a label) _"Take offer to buy BTC"_. 
When the user clicks the create new offer button, with label _"Create new offer to buy BTC with EUR"_, the offer ends up on the **Sell BTC** page, which is Red.

Clicking a **Green** button results in a **Red** offer !! and vice-versa.
This doesn't make sense. It is counter-intuitive and problematic UI design.

The labels for **Take-offer** and **Create-new-offer** buttons are very similar and do not clearly hint at the actual behavior.
The casual or new user should be excused for feeling confused. I was.

This confusion results in many users going through a trial-and-error session, to discover the actual behavior.
Also, first impressions are important.

#### Version

Current version v1.5.1, but not relevant as this is how the UI has been set-up.

### Steps to reproduce

This is how the UI is currently set-up.

### Expected behaviour

When a user clicks on a green colored **Create-offer** button on a green page, user **expects** offer to appear on the (same) green page. Same expectations with red offers.

### Actual behaviour

Created Offer is displayed on some other page.

### Screenshots

Buy BTC page (green buttons) with EUR.

#### Corrective action

The UI experience can be improved by modifying:
1. the **Create-new-offer** button label, _only_. Ex. on the Green page, to display "**Create new offer on the Sell_BTC (Red) page**" or similar.
2. the button behavior. Have new offers created on the current page, with button label to display "**Create new offer here**".

To me item 2 would be better and the preferred modification path resulting in a clear UI improvement.

What do you think ?
