Press down your mouse's scroll wheel to get the middle click event then. If you have an Apple Magic Mouse, install MagicPrefs to get middle-click support.

That's because yellow brings up the menu, blue the halo. Many people prefer to get the menu on right-click so that's why this is swapped from the traditional red-yellow-blue order. But you can adjust this to your liking.
