How to bulk color change specific layers from specific files?

Hey guys, I have made pre-designed content which I am trying to figure out how to customize color in bulk rather than doing it 1 by 1. So I was wondering if you could help me out and point me in the right direction.

As you can see in the image, there is a specific design with 3 color variations. And same for the second image, same content but different background colors + different text color of some layers.

I was wondering how I can do the exact same thing but in bulk?

To be able to automate using actions what is probably easiest way you must have consistency in your files:

 

  • same layers should be changed
  • layers must have exactly same name conventions or must be in the same relative position in the Layers panel
  • all files must have same amount of changes on the same layers with exactly same type of modification like always change third layer from bottom to red color overlay
  • Otherwise see suggestion by @c.pfaffenbichler

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?
