The term "Color Die" can refer to either of two different dice released by Looney Labs. They are similar in nature and can be used interchangeably when playing games, provided you have pyramids or cards that match the colors on the die faces. The Color Die with circles was released in 2009, followed in 2016 by a die that used symbols rather than just circles. The symbols of the 2016 Color Die matched the suits of the five-suited Zark City deck.
