How do I color Bevel Text?

[Black Ball]

Can someone tell me how to color bevel text? Everytime I use bevel in filter and then curves, it’s a lot more harder to get something satisfactory than using Chrome. Below are two links to
Pinterest for what im trying to to create.

You can try the "old" way using the color curves and dragging the value curve in a zig-zag.

   

The GEGL bevel is not too bad but to apply effects using Gimp 3.2 looks like you have to rasterize it (lose the text property)

Start off with text in a light blue with a touch of grey colour.
Lose the text property.
Add a bevel
Apply the color curve (with merge effect on)
Use Colorize for some other colour.
