Edit: ok after looking at some, it makes sense. Although questionable design on UD’s part. The PMG solid color is just the background. No foreground elements are colored. But the foreground becomes the white border, so therefore that doesn’t get the color. Foreground = white border in terms of treatment. The whole length of white at bottom is foreground in the original card, so it doesn’t get any PMG color.
When the background exists on the border, it will be colored. That’s why you see that sliver at top right as blue, and also the wavy section mid-right- those parts aren’t Fury on the original card, it’s just background. Some of these PMGs look odd because of this.

I think the borders were designed specifically for refractors -- the white areas were meant to be filled in with different colors and refractor patterns. But what happened is they used the same template for the PMGs and other types of parallels like Metallurgys. That's why it seems like the designs are not complete, or the cards are not fully printed -- the white areas don't fit with the non-refractor parallels and are just blank spaces.
It honestly seems like the PMGs were rushed and not properly designed. It makes sense because Upper Deck probably had to hurry up and release this product before they lost the Marvel license.
