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.

The dice came in the box set of AD&D and were set colors.

Although, they weren't translucent, and seeing as the puzzle pieces are, the colors might not be important. But, probably still worth checking and noting, just in case.
