OT Black Spark Plugs

I need a refresher course.

I have a used 2.2L engine with 67,000 miles on it. I pulled out all the spark plugs and they are all coated with a black powder. What does that mean?

I'll say! They should be a nice tan color if all is right. I forget what color they are when it is running lean.
