Assuming you want to know the possible results of 1 die roll and 1 marble pulled from the bag, and assuming that all marbles of the same color are treated the same (not unique):
There are 6 possible die rolls, and for each one of those, there are 2 possible marble colors. Therefore there are 12 possible results.
There are a lot of more involved questions about this sort of thing, so if you meant something else by your question, please respond and I'll elaborate! :)
