 I disagree - rolling well or badly is caused by belief, mind over matter, not
 by particular dice.  Any given die rolled idly will produce a fairly random
 number, but when it's an important roll (including any roll in a game), the
 result will be influenced by what the roller believes will come up.  The
 only reason lucky dice are lucky are because people BELIEVE they will be.
 What you believe to be lucky dice can be handy as a focus for your mental
 powers, but ideally we should all be seeking to elevate ourselves beyond the
 need for such corporeal anchors.  Experts can actually affect others' rolls
 as well as their own.

> so what is your favorite color of dice to use?

 My favourite die in the whole world is a D12 I picked up in Zurich.  It's
 just a Chessex die, but it's red and blue with silver numbers and I love
 it to bits and have been looking for others like it for ages and have never
 found any.
