Add a control layer on the top of all the layers you want to tint with the color.

Add an effect called Change color. Choose the color you want to change and the color you want to substitute it with.

It works nice!

You could create a tint effect and change the B & Wto whatever colour your choose then copy and paste it to each layer?

just select all the shape you want, or shape layers you want, and just double-click on the fill/stroke color box on the toolbar (tools), select a new color, press ok. That simple !

You can also change stroke width (by clicking on X px), or even fill/stroke type to gradient (by clicking on Fill or Stroke)

Hmmm, is this a CC thing? That doesn't seem to work on my Mac CS6.

Create an animation preset? Have not tried it but it's worth a shot.

My first thought is to combine the shapes into one shape layer and group them, and then use the fill property for the group.

Yeah, but each one is already animated. I'll try Rick's idea of making a preset.

Alternately, if it's something you need to change a lot, or animate, create a Collor Controller and pickwhip the fill colour of all the shape layers to that controller.
