Change range of particle system start colours in unity

Hopefully a simple question. I want to change the two start colors for the 'random between two colors' start colors in the particle system component, using C# in unity, however, can't seem to figure out how.

Here is the code I thought would do it, but it does not:

void Start () {
     Color particleMax = gameObject.GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ().main.startColor.colorMax;
     particleMax = Color.red;
     Color particleMin = gameObject.GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ().main.startColor.colorMin;
     particleMin = Color.white;
 }

Color in Unity3D is a value type (struct) not a reference type. If you want to set the gradient try this instead:

void Start () {
    ParticleSystem.MainModule psMain = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().main;
    psMain.startColor = new ParticleSystem.MinMaxGradient(Color.white, Color.red);
}
