.035 is pretty much standard for that shot area for most, myself included.
Pinkish, I think that is some additive burn off, but am not the best plug reader? Cat3 is our resident plug guy and maybe he'll see this or pm him.

1. .035" is just about perfect.

2. Don't worry about #8. If you're going to check any of them, check #5 and especially #7 as they'll be the first to show signs of trouble.
