What makes a bold stripe?

[Mallie]

Hey guys. I've been interested in stripes for a really long time and was curious what standards needed to be met to consider a stripe a BOLD stripe. I've looked through a couple sites and sometimes geckos that are labeled as bold stripes don't seem to be bold enough for me, if that makes any sense haha. I was also curious as to how easy it is to tell a hatchling bold stripe from a regular stripe. Some pictures to show the difference would be really useful.

Thanks ahead of time for your opinions :]

Basically it is a leopard gecko with 2 thick, dark stripes running down the center of the back. Some breeders may say a Stripe is a Bold Stripe to increase the value.

This is a good example of a bold stripe.
