The problem is that whatever color I use in creating the action is repeated when I run the action (no surprise, really).
So how do I create the action so that each time I run it it uses the current foreground color anew, each and every time?
Silkrooster, your answer was helpful but slightly incomplete, but that is because my question was incomplete.
What I really wanted was a solid color adjustment layer filled with the foreground color.
So what I came up with is a two part action:
1: Create the solid color adjustment layer (this is the part that always comes up as the same color I chose when creating the action).
2: Opt+Del to fill that adj layer with the foreground color.
As such it does what I need.
Thanks for your help.

1)Create a new action (optional give it a name)
2)press (alt-backspace or alt-del on windows or opt-del) or (opt-backspace on mac or opt-backspace on mac) to fill with the foreground color
3)stop the action from recording
Now what ever color is in the foreground color swatch will fill using the action.

Ah, ok. Yeah just a little bit of difference. LOL. Glad you have it figured out.
