            {
                mousepanel.setBackground(Color.red);
            }

             else if(e.getSource()==bblue)

        }



    }

    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        Button button = new Button();

        button.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

You're on the right track, but you need to tie the events to the button components rather than the interrupt signals of the mouse.

Instead of a MouseListener, change theHandler to this:

  public class TheActionHandler implements ActionListener {

      @Override
      public void actionPerformed(final ActionEvent e) {
           if(e.getSource()==bred)
        {
            mousepanel.setBackground(Color.red);
        }

         else if(e.getSource()==bblue)
        {
            mousepanel.setBackground(Color.blue);
        }

         else if(e.getSource()==bgreen)
        {
            mousepanel.setBackground(Color.green);
        }
      }
  }
