92 Accord: Weak (Orange) Spark

I'm noticing a weak spark out of the coil recently and I'm stuck on things to check. If you pop the coil wire off the distributor and put it near a ground and crank the car over an orange spark appears. It is my understanding that this is a weak spark and they are supposed to be a blue spark. When driving at highway speeds you can feel the odd miss. Also the spark doesn't seem to put out anough to light a inductive timing light.

The car does run pretty smooth other than the odd miss.

I checked the coil resistances according to the shop manual and they are OK one is .1 ohm below spec be that shouldn't affect it that much i would think.

My guess was that the Ignitor Unit was the culprit but after changing that there was no difference.

Any suggestions and what I should try?
