I hate yellowButtonPressed and redButtonPressed and blueButtonPressed messages.
Why not lefClick, rightClick and "middleClick"?
Yes. Back in the days, the color buttons where "holy cows". You just could not even suggest to change it. For me, after 13 years of Squeak and later Pharo, I still have no clue which color means what... they have no meaning. There is no green button on my mouse. Marcus

BTW I guess colors were choosen by someone with background in color psychology, there are *a lot* studies about color symbolism. Hernán
