77 Chip Color Sample Set, Large Hot Stamp, SCV Mold + RHC Mold (2004 - 2009)
- 13 added colors from the (1985-2003) 64 color sample set, noted below in bold:
Aqua, Carrot, Cherry, Coffee, Desert Flower, Grape, Ice Blue, Lemon Green, Light Pink, Melon, Navy Blue, Ocean Blue, Tan
- in 2007, due to a Chipco campaign over lead in Paulson chips, Paulson finally transitioned all chips to unleaded. Most colors by this time are already unleaded, but there were 6 holdouts (Blurple, Day Green, Fuschia, Indian Blue, Metallic Gold, Metallic Silver). The salesman color sample set in late 2007 had 6 colors on the
RHC mold - they took the 6 leaded colors out of existing sample sets and replaced them with the new unleaded colors.
