Back when I had access to a 4-gas exhaust analyzer and a voltage converter that allowed me to use it on road tests, (Thank you, public school system!) I was able to confirm that reading plug color was a very poor way to evaluate fuel mixture. One thing for sure- - - - -if a plug is black and sooty, you're not running rich- - - -it's more like REALLY RICH! An insulator that's blistered, or glassy-looking is a sign of a VERY lean condition. Anything in between is difficult to evaluate.
