I remember I opened a PSD file which did this.

It had like 4 hidden "adjustment" layers, each for a specific color, and all the elements that used a certain color were being changed depending on which adjustment layer was visible.

Something like this:



Notice the visible "pink" layer. That layer should make a part of the graphic on the left pink.

And when you make the blue layer visible, that part of the graphic graphic should turn blue:



Does anyone know how can I achieve this?

Maybe your pink or blue layer should be a Layer Style→Color Overlay? Then you put that layer on top of everything else. You may have to muck around with selecting only the bits you want colored, but it should work.

ONE (of many possibilities) way to do this is as follows:


make the layer which you want to alternate the color of: rounded rectangle tool (U); pick 'shape layer' in tool settings, pick a solid color; draw shape.
set layer blending option: pick gradient, and set the shape to a grayscale gradient.
make a new adjustment layer, and pick 'color fill', pick color; set layer blending to 'Color'
repeat the previous step using a different color.


To control this more carefully, you can apply a layer mask, such as the shape of the base item so that the colorization only applies to the item itself...
