    Don’t know what you want your advanced particles to look like, I’m sure Particular and Particle Illusion let you use custom particles (layers even), but if you want to change one color particles to 2 color particles, you could add the effects, Stylize>Roughen Edges (Edge Type>Roughen Color, then tweak the other setting, lower Border probably, otherwise it blur the particles together).

    You could also add Blur and Sharpen>CC Radial Fast Blur (change Zoom >Brightest, and maybe drop the Amount.

    And, Stylize>Scatter (keep randomize every frame” checked) at 5 (to Taste) gives it a sparkler look.

    It looks kinda sparky.

    I’m pretty sure Particular has a blue spark preset or something like that..
