I hoped that there was a ‘smart’ way, but probably not. So I
implemented it in the ‘dumb’ way.

I created a variable to hold them all:
    private JButton     colourButtons[] = new JButton[Colours.values().length];

I changed the generating into:
        for(int i = 0; i < Colours.values().length; ++i) {
            final Colours   colour  = Colours.values()[i];

            JButton jButton = new JButton("" + colour);

            colourButtons[i] = jButton;
            add(jButton, gbc);
            jButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        checkColour(colour);
                    }
                });
            gbc.gridx++;
            if( gbc.gridx == 3 ) {
                gbc.gridy++;
                gbc.gridx = 0;
            }
        }

And in checkColour I put the following code:
            javax.swing.Timer timer = new javax.swing.Timer(500, new ActionListener() {
                    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        setEnabledColourButtons(true);
                    }
                });

            setEnabledColourButtons(false);
            timer.setRepeats(false);
            timer.start();

This does what I want.
