You can't tell on those hatchlings/juveniles how yellow they're going to get as adults. Sulfurs still generally start out bland looking and get most of their color while they age. Wait till those grow up and you may be surprised. Some show stronger yellow at hatching, but I don't know how those grow up.

Still, sulfur is really a combination of a few different traits. At the barest they have a strong yellow, and a light coloration. From the original lines, many had a low band count, wide bands and aberrant patterns. Brandon's male has most of those traits. His looks exceptional, the best I've seen in a while... yet is het for lavender so it has been outcrossed from the original lines.

The best I've seen were at Len Krysko's place back in 2003. The sulfurs just smoked compared all other Floridana when it came to the intensity of their yellow and orange colors. They all had a certain look to them... the combination of their various phenotypic traits is what made them so unique.
