Hi Slim

As you can see there are a variety of ways of approaching filling a rectangle.

From your screen shot you filled your rectangle with a gradient from the Layer Styes which is shown still to be active.  I duplicated your Layer stack and show both the Layer Panel and Layer Styles panel for what you did below:

If you want to change the color of the gradient, select the "Gradient Overlay" option and then click on the little colored gradient just to the right of the Word "Gradient:"   That opens up the gradient editor to change the gradient as you desire.

Now on the other hand if you just want a solid color, then turn off the Gradient Overly and Click on the "Color Overlay" option in the Layer Styles Panel.  This is shown below with the Color Overlay option selected.   With this approach you just click the color chip and the color selection panel opens up and you can select the color you desire.  Note that I selected a green color just for contrast:

Eggy pointed out in his post a way to fill the rectanlge directly without using Layer Styles.

Hope this is of some help as you can see there are many many ways to do the same thing in PS and the learning curve never really ends (at least for me)
