If you like working with Photoshop FX, check out a free extension available on Adobe Exchange called tomaxxiFXcolor.
It simply allows you to apply the current foreground color to effects
like Bevel and Emboss, Drop Shadow, Stroke, Color Overlay, etc, with a single click. Normally, if you wanted to change the color used in those effects to the foreground color, the process involves a multi-click trip through the Layers panel, the Layer Styles dialog box, the Color Picker, and the Tools panel. With tomaxxiFXcolor, it’s a one-click operation. You just click the Apply button for the effect you want to change (on the currently selected layer).
