it's almost impossible to read plugs like this.. you need to look where the porcelain meets the plug (down in the well)
the portion we can see tells the idle and maybe if we look hard the cruising speed mixture.

take a picture of the ground strap as well. The second picture you posted looks better for idle fueling but you can definitely see the oiil deposits.
clean off the plugs threads and take a picture of that as well so we can see how hot the plug is getting. If you are able to, a temp fix for the richness could be to run a slightly hotter plug or to run a slightly bigger plug gap. Just be careful gapping iridiums....

Walter like Jd said the tune is off for sure. It doesn't matter what anyone has told you or where you get information from the idea that you can burn a stock rom to a chip and run a car perfectly are wrong.
I don't know what the differance is myself with a chip burned from any honda rom editor ive used compared to a stock ecu. But I do know it doesn't work like a stock ecu. they always need to be tuned mainly in the fuel maps. timing is always real close but a touch here and there goes a long way. I small tip just for you because your my Homey is to retard timing a degree or two at WOT.
This is real general but not always the case, In cruise and low load situations stock roms like a few degrees more timing and need some taken away at wot.
