What part are you describing as bottom? And was this after idle, low rpm cruise that you pulled the plugs? If you just done a WOT blast, shut it down and then pulled the plugs, which is the prefered way to read plugs, then you get a better read on them.

If you are talking about the facing of the plug body, the metal part at the end of the threaded body that is flat and faces into the cylinder..then white is better then speckled or chunky-black. Speckles indicate detonation ripping of those "speckles" of piston and embedding the into the plug body, porcelain or grounding strap. If its black and chunky then its rich as hell. Depending on fuel and additives used in it, or used beside the fuel, you may see a redish to brownish tint to the porcelain, or green to blueish if using nitrous. White porcelain that looks powdery and super fricken clean is lean.
