I had to get a dice cube, because I need dice (Duh), and the only one they had of non-apoc size was a chaos cube. So I went along with it, despite the informal look of several colors. Then I began to think about the colors, originally thinking it was random and chaotic (Because they are chaos). But eventually I came to realize that each is a chaos god, Green for Nurgle, Red for Khorne, blue for Tzetch (Or however you spell his name. Feel free to psyke-blast me for that), but that still leaves white. Obviously that leaves Slannesh, but why not purple or another color more Slannesh-y?
Other random comments on the cube: Why is the scatter die the same size as the rest, and whats the one with the numbers and a !? Edit: Oh, right, and the numbers on the cube itself could be more clearly defined. Either use all Chaos-Symbols or none for your dots, otherwise it gets confusing.

Hmm, guess I'll find a use for those.

I know this most likely isn't the reason for the white die, but I like to believe someone in GW's design team snuck in the white die for Malal:

Isn't it shiny? i.e. 'Pearl' and therefore signifying decadent; if not other objects that could be associated with the God of Pleasure...

I suppose so, and isnt one of her/his nicknames "The Pearled One"? That would make even more sense.
