Share box chip colors
In the sharebox, groups of people you share with appear as either a blue or green "chip", like "public" or "extended circles". When a chip is blue it means that you've selected the people with whom that content is being shared. For instance, your Family circle is blue because you decide who you place in that circle. When a chip is green, it means that it may contain people you haven't added to your circles. Your extended circles, for instance, appear as a green chip because some of these people likely aren't in your circles.
