The reason grey works better is that most light meters try to average out the darkest and lightest tones to a middle grey, 18% grey. This allows the tonal values to be correctly shown with having a even amount of dark and light tones. When there isn't a wide variety of tones for the camera meter to average out? The camera averages them out anyway to achieve 18% grey which is middle grey. This off sets some of the tonal values and you won't have a correctly representation of the object your trying to capture.

do photos of geckos in ads or even in post which seem highly photomanipulated (upping the contast, color, levels, saturation etc.) distract you from viewing or possibly purchasing them?

if so please explain why.

I would never buy online.I know for a fact colour manipulation happens in pics.
