I don't recall there being a color associated with a specific die color. I'll keep looking, but nothing so far has come up in my searching.

d4, d6, d8, d10 (twice), d12 and d20?

The original D&D dice just used the five Platonic Solids. The d20 didn't have the digits 1-20. Instead it had 0-9 twice, inked in two different colors. One color represented 1-10, the other 11-20. If you needed a percentile roll, you used two d20s. The d10 didn't come into play until years later. (as did the amazing technology which allowed putting two digits on a single die facet)

The creator of True Dungeon is a big fan of D&D First Edition and loves to put in elements of it into TD. So I would not be at all surprised if he only used five dice in a puzzle.
