colour looks pretty normal. Looks like a bit of carbon on the insulator tops of the ceramic, might try some dielectric grease on the inside of the coilpack boots. Those plugs don't owe you anything, looks like a good time to get them out.

Car seems to be more rev happy. Densos seems to be working well. Also, the car has around 58k miles and it seems like the plugs haven't been previously replaced.

my original plugs came out at 55k, the center electrodes were badly worn, can't imagine what they would have looked like at 100,000 miles. I highly recommend people changing them earlier than what the manual calls for.
