For Illustrator

The easiest way to accomplish this for any shape is to add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel, highlight that new fill and choose Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform from the menu. Add a little bit of vertical offset and you should be set.



(There are actually a few different ways to transform fills in Illustrator to get this effect, this is among the easiest.)

For Photoshop

The theory is the same... duplicate shape, change fill color, offset slightly from the original shape. However, Photoshop doesn't have the Appearance panel so you need to use an additional layer for the offset color under the original layer, that's all.
