as I am a leopard gecko breeder, (a lizard breeder really but I specialise in Leopard Geckos), Leopard Geckos, In my case (That's 17 geckos!) prefer beige, greens, cream and light browns. They love sandy colors but ensure that the rest of the enclosure is safe first. Leopard geckos always seem to adore a rocky cove to sleep in, they love their food to be scattered about or in a large natural looking dish. Overall, I would say, bright colours can actually scare some more shy and timid ones, however, the personality decides wheather they will like colors or not. A natural desert or rainforest backdrop/sheet is a great idea, and I strongly recommend these, a large one or several ones, means you can give your gecko some varietyof backgrounds, colours and features.
Hope this helps! :)

∙ 11y agoHumans have cones and rods in our eyes. Rods allow us to see shades of black and white in the dark, and Cones allow us to see in full spectrum color when exposed to light. Diurnal species of gecko only have Rods. As time went by and more species of gecko evolved to be Nocturnal, species lost these rods and had evolved into 3 super sized cones. These cones allow nocturnal species of gecko to not only see shades of black and white in the dark but allow them to see color in the dark. It has not been tested on all species of nocturnal dwelling geckos but has been proven for the helmeted gecko, and the chalize gecko. The only other specie to see full spectrum in the dark is the hawk moth.
