orange rusty color on my spark plugs?

I pulled all the plugs out today and they are all an orange rusty color after only 1,000 miles WTF? The orange residue wipes right off what could this be? I did run a can of the NOS octane booster through the las tank of gas, Could this be what caused the plugs to have this orange residue on them?

Fuel additives can cause discoloration.

yes, stay away from boosters, they dont do enough to help anyways. I ran chevron techron, and had no problems or discoloration or anything

Torko actaully has a great reputation for raising octane levels. Not like that crappy store bought stuff.
