Spark plug color
I replaced my plugs and took a good look at them. They all looked good except I am a little Leary of the #1 cylinder. 7 of the plugs are a nice tan color. The #1 cylinder is more of a gray color and is the top photo. The rest look like the 2nd. My afr’s are low 13s at wide open , cruise is in the upper 14 range. Idle is upper 12s . Dart single plane intake , QFT 850 carb.

No way to really tell anything from plug color on plugs that have been run at various rpms and at idle for hours.
