    final JButton button1 = new JButton("Select Me");
    final JButton button2 = new JButton("No Select Me");

        int red = random.nextInt(255);
        int green = random.nextInt(255);
        int blue = random.nextInt(255);
        button.setBackground(new Color(red, green, blue));
      }
    };

    PropertyChangeListener propertyChangeListener = new PropertyChangeListener() {
      public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent propertyChangeEvent) {
        String property = propertyChangeEvent.getPropertyName();
        if ("background".equals(property)) {
          button2.setBackground((Color) propertyChangeEvent.getNewValue());
        }
      }
    };

    button1.addActionListener(actionListener);
    button1.addPropertyChangeListener(propertyChangeListener);
    button2.addActionListener(actionListener);

    frame.add(button1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
