yes, and don't forget to merge particles.dat as well

You only need to do that if you want the tracer to be something defined in particles.dat. The tracer can be anything defined in \data\Library.

In any case you would need to merge the dat file containing the wanted effect (whatever its name is), or Goblin Editor won't let you to select it.

Original WWII footage of USAF P47 fighter-bomber in action:

It clearly shows that tracer ammunition used with their guns was either of a very pale shade of purple, almost white (RGB vaues deduced from a screen capture at 0:21 sec: 189 189 208 to 193 169 195), or pale pink (228 199 179 at 0:25 sec).

The color recorded on film might have been greatly affected by many factors, though as ambient luminosity, background color, type film and film degradation, etc.

Is there anyone who can share any related video/picture?

Also yellow Trev. Hard to tell what color they were from black and white film footage from gun camera. Thankfully they used some color film towards the end of the war. Green was usually from the enemy guns. Red and yellow from the Allies' guns... maybe even white too.

here are a few similar discussions hosted in various gaming forums, mostly about tracer bullets used by WWI and WWII Air forces:
