This is what I came up with. Note: I'm still studying Java in University, so this might not be the exact way to do this but it worked when I did it.

public class ColorGrid extends JPanel implements MouseListener {
this.addMouseListener(this);
addMouseListener(this);

That's the first part, the second part is to have these methods in your code.

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) {

}

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {

}

public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {

}

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {

}

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {

}

Then, depending on what you want, (i.e. Mouse clicked or pressed), just type in:

repaint();

Hope this helped.
