While I agree with Phil in general, in the spirit of answering the question posed, you _may_ get a more accurate color representation when disabled using a different blend mode; look at this thread for more details:

> Okay, let’s make sure I have things correct. By my count, there’s three problems you’re describing in this thread. Upon upgrade, some of your buttons disappear outright. I think I understand what’s gone wrong. There’s an issue in the LaF with the borderPainted property (causing the button to become invisible) so we removed the property entirely. However, older windows could still have a change from the default value serialized, so you end up with your issue - invisible buttons. We’ll see if…

I say _may_ because I haven't ever tested this with a disabled button...because as Phil said, non-standard styling for disabled components tends to confuse end users.
