Looks a little rich. What plugs are they and what are they/were they gapped at? I never buy platinum plugs, they aren't ever "pre-gapped" correct. TR-55's (standard) gapped at .050" works good for me.
How's your air filter and how long since O2 sensor replacement? Do you have any mods that would cause you to run rich i.e. headers, !cat?

They look like the Iridium plugs.

Sorry, theyre just regular NGK Tr55's. Put in a little less than 2yrs ago. I have headers and !cats. Im not super worried about it, and if its running a little rich,thats fine with me. I was just worried that it might be lean or something. Thank you!

You don't ever rely on pre-gapped plugs. You always check and re-gap before installing.
