First of all, what plug is that from? Leading, Trailing, 12a or 13b? Stock plugs should be NGK BR8EQ-14 with four posts/electrodes. I think 13b's has BR9EQ-14's for trailing, but I could be wrong there. Only have had 12a's to date.
For the color, it's not black, wet or covered with oil/soot. I would say you are running decently close to stoich or a little lean. What did you do just before pulling it? WOT pulls or just sitting at idle until the engine warmed and you got off choke/warm up enrichment?

Looks lean to me but don't know what the runtime was before you pulled it. For idle this is not too bad but could be a bit richer. The flash is also washing it out so its hard to say.

it looks pretty happy, maybe it could be a little leaner on average.
the plug color is like the average of the whole time you ran the thing, so it doesn't tell you much
