NGCB lists the inserts of this chip as Fuchsia and Petunia and the chip color as Almond. Note the beige inserts at just before 12 and just before 6. This variation is a manufacturer (Blue Chip Company) effort to correct a 4-notch chip, where only 2 notches were needed for the purple and fuchsia inserts. They filled-in the 2 extra notches with inserts as close in color as possible with the color of the chip body. In this example, the 2 fill-in inserts are slightly darker than the chip body.
