The stacks have some kind of plating or coating on the base and also the welded doubler at the open end of the stack. The coating is a silver color. That is why the end of the 1st stack appears such a light color in comparison to the 5 others.
It's not soot. It is hydrocarbon fuel remnants or exhaust. Soot is something you find on jet engines.
