i don't think it's necessary. most people who play dnd are capable of differentiating between 7 distinct die shapes.

I agree that beginners would benefit from color-coded dice sets; which is why I always use the sets that came in my D&D boxed sets for beginners (they've almost always been color-coded sets).
On the other hand, I have a separate color-themed set of dice for each of my favorite PCs (I collect dice): a gray marblized granite-like set for my drawf, a green marblized set for my elf (until I buy another set of elven runes dice - I gave mine to my ex-DM/long-time D&D friend), transparent sparkling dice for my psionicist, etc.
They each have their own dice bags as well.
EDIT: And I'm in agreement with Wil Wheaton: touching another player's/DM's dice is taboo. You could jinx those things!

A friend of mine used to keep his dice in the freezer until game time. "They roll better when they're cold," he said.
My daughter places poorly rolling dice into the freezer as punishment.

We do this, too. After the third or fourth bad roll, "Freezer time!" is often heard around the table. I think my daughter picked this up and is now spreading it to her gaming friends on base.
In memory of wrecan and his Unearthed Wrecana.5e should strongly stay away from "I don't like it, so you can't have it either."

I have a special little burlap sack known as "the bad dice bag" where underperforming dice are imprisoned for the remainder of the session. It helps to encourage the other dice to roll better.

For bad dice there is only one fate. The killing jar. I put all the other dice around the jar so they can see their friend go to the happy rolling ground. No quarter for traitors.
