I leave you my humble opinion guys. Referring to the mouse buttons by color should be *retired* if favor of the direct "Left, Center, Right -- Wheel". For a simple reason. Nobody aged <= 40 ever saw a mouse with colored buttons. 

It is an un-necessary level of indirection. 

If a mouse/input-widget does not have 3 buttons then, "Left, Center, Right" will not fit, but "RED, YELLOW, BLUE" wouldn't in any case. 

I think Squeak/Smalltalk is intended to have rich GUI interactions, so we must suppose the user has a good mouse. As in CAD programs, if you don't have a good mouse you can't work well, you know and you are supposed to get one. (I dropped the MagicMouse in the moment I needed to do some CAD drawings)

If you refer to mouse buttons please consider using the venerable Red/Yellow/Blue names instead of cmd-click etc - those are very machine specific. I added an explanation of red/yellow/blue to the 'Squeak User Interface' page.
