So the "D100" has 00-90 and goes up by tens and works in tandem with a D10 to fill in the single digits? That makes a lot of sense but I still want a disco ball sized die with 100 sides

It's either 2 D10s (one for each digit) or a single D100 but D10s are so common that two dice are usually the way to roll it. So yes there are D100 out there.

Yes. Different colors or different digits (1, 2, 3, ... and 10, 20, 30, ...).

Yes 00 = 100%, 01 = 1%, percentage and no 0%, you don't roll same colours so you can call which die is which digit, or could roll one twice to make a percentage.

The 00-90 is what's called a percentile die. A d10 and a percentile die are commonly rolled together to generate numbers between 0 and 99 (where 00 is usually read as 100).

But the true d100 disco balls exist.
