I have a question about particles?

So I have a surface… which a cube falls on top off.
The surface produces the particles.

(Question)
How do I make the particles a different color… than the surface… they came out of?

Under the Particle tab > Render > Material

Moved from “General Forums > Blender and CG Discussions” to “Support > Particles and Simulations”

make a second material on the model then go to particles panel then go down to render settings and change the material from 1 to 2
