Default Greenish tr6 plugs?

After seven months of spraying, I changed my tr6 plugs and they all had a greenish color on the tip (top) of em. The rest of the plug was greyish. Is that normal, good or bad? I did a search, but didn't see anything.

I never ran race gas, but I have thought about it. Every now and then, i'll put a bottle of lucas fuel treatment in it though.

Mine are always green but that is from vp-c12. Don't know if fuel system treatment would do that.

If the greenish color is from an additive, I hope it didn't do any harm.

Update: I just taken out a few of my new plugs and I think i'm running a little lean. The tips were a white/greyish color. They were mostly grey after I wiped them off.

The best way to read plugs is to pull them out, spray them with brake clean, blow them off, and have a look.
