Coloring Particles?

Anyone can give me a hand? I wanna know how to make a single emitter that randomly emits red and green particles.

I know I can cheat by creating 2 emitters, let one emits red particles and the other one emits green particles. but that sounds very stupid...

Also, do a search in the docs for "rgbPP", as that will help you achive "Per-Particle" coloringuser added image

Thanks for the reply. But I guess I'm too newbie to understand expression script user added image. Anyway, I found another way to cheat and the following is what I did:

create a emitter 1st > Color > Add Per Particle Attribute > rgbPP > Create Ramp > assign birthTime in Input V > Edit Ramp, delete the blue color from the default ramp and set the Interpolation to None. Finally add some Noise and Noise Freq to the Ramp for randomness.
