Default Quick Spark Plug analysis please

Just swapped out the Platinum 1 step colder plugs I got when I had my old Stillen installed. These were ran for about 8k miles on the stillen blower and about 1k on the Vortech. Theres this reddish coat on every single spark plug..... I cant seem to find anything on google regarding this condition. Thanks for the help. Sorry for the bad pics. Basically all the tips have this red rust color to them.

Yea I ran that for a bit when I was having detonation issues on the stage 3 Stillen. Right now Im running a bottle of Chevron Techron carbon deposit cleaner with every tank of chevron/shell gas. GTM told me Im consuming alot of fuel in high rpms, possibly due to carbon build up.
