Carrot Tail?

I have read and heard that a carrot-tail means the majority of a leopard gecko's tail is an orange or red color...this is my leo, Zabo, who is about 5-6 months old. Based on this picture of her tail, does this mean she can be called a carrot-tail? It's not vividly orange yet, but you can definately tell that the majority of the tail has an orange tint. Thank you in advance.

I thought the rule of thumb was at least 15% of the tail being orange, but I could be wrong.

I would definitely call that a carrot tail.

I wouldn't call that a Carrot-tail as to me it means 10-15% of PURE Orange... with no black in the way.

I look at it this way. If I had another carrot tail, would I breed it to that one to get better tails in the future? I would with that one. Just my opinion though.

Besides, if it's not a carrot tail, what would you call it?
