[Tex/LaTex] Define a \newcommand to incorporate colors in \thevariables

macros

I use LaTeX to write my job applications. Since I have more than 50 places to apply for, I like to define variables, such as: \targetorg, \website, \mysignature etc. Since these are sensitive portions of the letters, I would like to be able to define these variables such that they easily can stick out.(by means of a color for example.)
So far what I have been doing is the following:

\newcommand{\mycolor}{\color{blue}}  
\newcommand{\defaultcolor}{\color{black}}
\newcommand{\targetorg}{\mycolor "Name of organization I am applying work for" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\myname}{\mycolor "my name" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\job}{\mycolor "type of work" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\place}{\mycolor "location of organization" \defaultcolor}

This would then be used as follows: 

begin{document}
Hi,  
My name is \myname and would like to apply as \job for \targetorg in \place. 
end{document}

In this manner, when I compile my document, the various defined variables stick out so I can spot quickly if there are any mess ups and adjust accordingly. After I am done with double checking the work, I then redefine \mycolor to black so that the text is in one uniform color. The way I have done it now works perfectly, except that from a coding perspective it looks primitive to always have to include {\mycolor … \defaultcolor} for every new instance of \newcommand.
Question:
I would like to ask if there is a way to make a \newcommand that would automatically incorporate these color definitions within itself. Ultimately I would like to do the following:
\newcmdcolor{\targetorg}{"Name of organization I am applying work for"}
which should be the exact equivalent of:
\newcommand{\targetorg}{\mycolor "Name of organization I am applying work for" \defaultcolor}
So how do a define such a \newcmdcolor?
\newcommand{\newcmdcolor}{??????}

MWE
I discussed above the essential aspects of the code. For the sake of complying to the MWE standards, I hereby produce a full working sample which can be copy-pasted to your convenience: 

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\newcommand{\mycolor}{\color{blue}}  
\newcommand{\defaultcolor}{\color{black}}
\newcommand{\targetorg}{\mycolor "Dummy Organization" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\myname}{\mycolor "Dummy Name" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\job}{\mycolor "Dummy Work" \defaultcolor}
\newcommand{\place}{\mycolor "Dummy Location" \defaultcolor}

\begin{document}
\noindent
To whom it may concern,\\\indent
My name is \myname\, and I would like to apply for \job\, at \targetorg\, in \place.\\
Sincerely,\\
\myname
\end{document}

Best Answer

Something like this?

Just say \newcolorcmd{category}{"Text"} and you will get a new command \category which will output the corresponding text.

Basically one could also use Torbjorn T's. proposition

Using the same color for \mycolor is not encouraged however, so there should be an additional argument to the command. 

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{etoolbox}


\newcommand{\mycolor}{blue}  
\newcommand{\defaultcolor}{black}
%\newcommand{\targetorg}{\mycolor "Name of organization I am applying work for" \defaultcolor}
%\newcommand{\myname}{\mycolor "my name" \defaultcolor}
%\newcommand{\job}{\mycolor "type of work" \defaultcolor}
%\newcommand{\place}{\mycolor "location of organization" \defaultcolor}

\newrobustcmd{\newcolorcmd}[2]{%
\long\csgdef{#1}{\textcolor{\mycolor}{#2}}%
}%

\newcolorcmd{job}{"Type of work"}%
\newcolorcmd{myname}{"My name"}%


\begin{document}


\job

\myname%


\end{document}
