While plugs could also mean they are running on the high end of their heat range. Until I switched to 7's my plugs were always matt white when I pulled them. The FI system we use doesn't make it easy to read plugs. Unless you make a run and shut the engine down and coast to a stop to pull and read them, driving with the ECU in closed loop will pretty much mask any open loop mixture information from the plugs.
