Cell Render

Question

I've come this for with the cell render but i'm stuck. MY code is
public class JListColorRender extends DefaultListCellRenderer {
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
          Component c = super.getListCellRendererComponent(list,value, 2, isSelected,hasFocus());
c.setBackground(Color.RED);
return c;
But the problem is, it makes the whole JList red when I'm trying to get a single value red. What am I doing wrong?

Whats is an SCCEE w/e? If u mean a snippet of my code, here it is:
JListColorRender render;
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource().equals(redButton)){
render=new JListColorRender();
               list.setCellRenderer(render);
     }//end actionperformed
public class JListColorRender extends DefaultListCellRenderer {
     public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus) {
Component c = super.getListCellRendererComponent(list,value, index, isSelected,hasFocus());
          if (value.equals(list.getSelectedValue())) {
               c.setBackground(Color.RED);
               } else {
               c.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
return c;
And thats my code. I want a button clicked and it makes that one cell turn red, in which it does. But when I click another cell, it turns red also, without the button being clicked. Is that enough information? Is that an SCEEE?
One thing I haved tried to do is disable the render object after the action command but that doesn't seem to work either.
