Not sure which Engine you are using etc., but my general advice for any kind of stylised color palette would be to use Gradient Mapping. It’s very easy to get from any kind of shader black/white effect to a colored effect.  
There is an entire post about it here:

[Shannon Berkes comment](https://realtimevfx.com/t/shannon-berke-league-of-legends-demo-reel/1133/6) about using the shit out of gradient mapping made me think about how to use it inside the engine with particles. I think this is super useful and offers new possibilities color-wise. I’m certainly not the first one to try this, but i’ve never seen someone post anything about it, so i made a [small tutorial on how to do it in UE4](https://tobiasnoller.com/articles/ue4-gradient-mapping-vfx/). This is the basic material setup for UE4:

You should be able to re-create the stuff done in Unreal easily also with Amplify.  
Good luck!
