I wanted to merge two BAM (alignements) files together. Before merging, how can I color the reads in the BAM files so that while viewing at the UCSC Genome Browser I can tell the reads apart from the two files? Thanks!

Don't merge the BAM files if you want to visualize them using different colors in UCSC genome browser. The UCSC color settings can not be controlled from/within the BAM file. You should upload them separately and change color settings in their config files that goes along with the bam files in UCSC genome browser. I have never done something like this before so I am not sure if it can be done but this page should be able to help you : https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bam.html

IGV might work better than the UCSC genome browser for your application.
