The function 'red_button' will be called when a rising edge is detected.

In that function, you're assigning to 'colour' but not changing it in
the loop, so it's basically just a busy loop. However, you're trying to
change 'timered', which is a global variable, but you're not declaring
it as global, so that will raise UnboundLocalError.

Similar remarks apply to the other two callbacks.

I think you'd be better off detecting both the rising and falling
edges, with a callback for each, recording when each edge occurred
(duration of press = time of falling edge - time of rising edge).
