I have a hodge-podge of different dice that I have gathered together over the last 27 years of gaming. I have wooden dice, tiny silver sparkle dice, dice I had to color the numbers, dice from various game box sets, and dice I received when friends got new sets. Except for the tiny silver sparkle ones, I don't think I could come up with a full set of dice all the same color.
How do you compare? What color is your most-used set of dice?

Your karma is influencing the dice, man!
Funnily enough, there was a multiple-choice question about what kind of supernatural/paranormal phenomena the gamer answering the poll might believe as part of a Casus Belli survey in France back in the 90's. The results clearly showed that, while not many actually believed in the existence of say telekinesis, telepathy or the Loch Ness monster, a huge majority firmly believed in the influence of the player's mind over the dice results. Interesting!
I must say I believe in it too.

For a long time I had all sots of pretty multicolored dice -- transparent, sparkly, iridescent, pearlescent, mottled -- until I realized that I couldn't read the numbers on most of them. So, my wife took all the prettiest ones, and the rest went into a "communal dice" box, for players who forget their dice.
Then I started over. Now, my wife thinks I have boring fuddy-duddy dice... The only ones I buy are monochrome -- white on black, black on white, white on mottled black/grey, or black on mottled white/grey. Nobody else, in our group at leat, uses those colors, and they're easy for me to read even from half the table away.
I like having the four different color combinations to distinguish between rolls when I'm rolling for multiple checks and/or (non-player) characters.

At first I read that as "20 30-siders" which made me go, "My god. I have A d30, but why would you want TWENTY?"

My friend bought some awesome dice. Small dice of brass, bronze, silver, jade, and bone. I think he said they cost him 50$ a set.
They only bad thing: He has two three year old kids.
Amazingly (or ironically, as it seems), he's only missing one die: his giant purple d20. Which makes me laugh, because after he tried giving it away so many times (even threw it in the trash once), it always ended up back to him. And then he lost it.

Violet & black with gold lettering - I go for dice with high legibility.

I have three sets with different purple/black and gold patterns. It's been my favourite colour combination for over ten years (you could almost call it a spiritual thing), so it was natural for me to gravitate towards it for dice.
