Abstract: Methods and electronic devices for displaying a particle effect are described. One method includes receiving an input on an area of a display screen, the area having a color. A main particle color is set based on the color, and then a secondary particle color is set based on the main particle color. A plurality of moving particles are displayed, the moving particles moving around the input area, and each of the plurality of moving particles has a color on a spectrum from the main particle color to the secondary particle color.
