Hi Aayush,

public class MyLabel extends Applet{
    private Label clickLabel;
    private Color colourStore[] = {Color.blue, Color.red, Color.green,
                                    Color.cyan, Color.black, Color.gray};
    private int count = 0;
    
    public void init(){
        clickLabel = new Label("Click this label to change background colour");
        clickLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
            public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent me){
                repaint();
            }
        });
        add(clickLabel);
    }
    //Don't change colour when applet becomes visible again
    public void start(){
        if(count > 0){
            --count;
        }
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g){
        if(count >= colourStore.length){
            count = 0;
        }        
        g.setColor(colourStore[count]);
        g.fillRect(0,0,getSize().width, getSize().height);
        count++;
    }
}
