I don't know why you have the engine apart and are looking at the valves, so unless that reason was directly related to the head/valves and overheating, I really wouldn't worry about what color they are. As long as the engine was running and not overheating then it must be ok, no matter how they look. As a heavy equipment mechanic by trade, everything I've ever seen concerning valve color as it pertains to the correct operation of the engine shows whiteish "buildup" on the valves as being a sign of the engine running correctly. You want the valves to run as hot as possible, without overheating, in order to keep the buildup off them. Black deposits usually denote soot/carbon buildup which is caused by incomplete combustion due to burning oil, low compression, etc, all the things normally associated with engine problems. Like I said as long as the engine was running properly and there isn't an excessive amount of buildup on the valves then I wouldn't worry about it. Just my .02
