Exhaust Port Color

Im replacing the stock oil return tubes on my '83 SC motor and had to take off the heat exhangers. The color of the exhaust ports:

4 are white, white, white.
2 are blackend.

This bothers me. White means lean, Blackend means rich, no?

I have new Magnacore wires and fresh plugs on this motor. The motor is low mile, 70K+. The timing was set too-far advanced for awhile a few months ago, but I've toned it down quite a bit. It starts fine, it sounds great. Some questions:

Could poorly adjusted valves cause this?
I can't test the injectors because they have metal lines. Maybe run some Techron?
Any other advise?
