I apologize, I did make a mistake with the example I provided and I just realized it. Change the code block:

while True: 
    GPIO.add_event_detect(22, GPIO.RISING, callback=red_button, bouncetime=200) 
    GPIO.add_event_detect(23, GPIO.RISING, callback=yellow_button, bouncetime=200) 
    GPIO.add_event_detect(24, GPIO.RISING, callback=blue_button, bouncetime=200) 
    if colour == 1: 
        time_red += 1 
    elif colour == 2: 
        time_yellow += 1 
    elif colour == 3: 
        time_blue += 1 

to:

GPIO.add_event_detect(22, GPIO.RISING, callback=red_button, bouncetime=200) 
GPIO.add_event_detect(23, GPIO.RISING, callback=yellow_button, bouncetime=200) 
GPIO.add_event_detect(24, GPIO.RISING, callback=blue_button, bouncetime=200)

while True: 
    if colour == 1: 
        time_red += 1 
    elif colour == 2: 
        time_yellow += 1 
    elif colour == 3: 
        time_blue += 1


You are getting the error because the script is attempting to perform a "add_event_detect" on the same pins each time the "while" loop iterates. By moving it above the loop the error should stop occuring.
