Default inductor help

Hello,
in an old VFO project that I'd like to duplicate (seems easy and
stable enough for me), the inductors (2) are specified as a number of
turns on a 5mm former with
"purple core". Now I know what a 5mm former might be, but I surely
don't have any idea what a purple core is and how to recognize it on
my parts department :-)
Any info is appreciated, thanks in advance.

=============================================
Purple coloured toroids are for example Ni-Zn ferrite type 4C65 made by
Philips.
For inductors used in frequency determining circuits (vfo), powder-iron
cores are normally used .

Ferrite for RF applications is usually applied in chokes , baluns, ununs.
