How do I change the colour of a layer (which is an ellipse)?

[peter_quiet]

Okay so I made a layer, then I added an ellipse to it then I created a duplicate but I want to move this one somewhere else but change the colour.

I tried using the tool that you get when you press 'w' and selected the shape but then how do I change the colour? Is this the correct approach to take at all?

Simple select the image on the layer by CTRL+ click layer icon and fill with desired color.

Hope this helps.
