Spark color to determine ingition coil performance

I like the following for testing coil effectiveness. I had a wide open throttle miss, supercharged engine, and i was able to determine a coil was breaking down when I open up the gap rather large, 2 coils handled gap, one didn’t, changed it and fixed my problem.
