and what exactly is your question?

You're almost almost there. You have 3 methods to change the colors, you have a method that's called when the button is pressed, which counts the number of presses, so all you need to do is call the appropriate color change method when the button is pressed (1st press, green, second press amber, 3rd red, 4th green... etc)
