So utilizing theme.json I am able to add styles to the core/button as intended

Though when I change the button style to outline it now ignores my colors (obviously) but what I didn't expect is it overwrote my theme.json padding with its own padding.

Here is the part of my theme.json file

"core/button": {
          "color": {
            "background" : "var(--wp--preset--color--primary)",
            "text" : "var(--wp--preset--color--white)"
        },
        "spacing": {
          "padding": {
              "top": "5px",
              "right": "15px",
              "bottom": "5px",
              "left": "15px"
          },
          "border": {
            "customRadius": false
          }
        }
      },

This applies everything as expected but if in the wp-admin area you go and switch style to outline it adds the class
.is-style-outline which then applies its own padding and overwrites my padding.

.is-style-outline>.wp-block-button__link, .wp-block-button__link.is-style-outline {
    border: 2px solid;
    padding: .667em 1.333em;
}

With this in mind, my thought (though with a grain of salt) would be to either remove the padding from .is-style-outline and let it default to the .wp-block-button__link styles precede.

This creates the problem though of the buttons not being equal in size with default stylings. As the border: 2px solid; will increase the overall size by 4px.

I also thought of maybe changing the border to outline.

Overall I'm not sure the best solution here but that it doesn't seem to be the best way of handling it.

A couple of of other thoughts I had was to have the theme.json file a way of targeting .is-style-outline

Ultimately I think this comes back to the hard coding of styles versus the direction we seem to be going with flexibility.
