Light tan color on exhaust sleaves...lean? too lean? meaningless?

just like the title says, while I was pulling my engine apart I noticed that the exhaust sleaves looked like the very center of my plugs...light tan. Is this any indication as to how the car is tuned. I don't wanna run too lean but I am not really sure when or if I need a higher volume fuel pump and injectors. Should I wait on those untill I get an SAFC? Do I have to worry about running so lean that I burn the seals up or detonate an NA?
