3D color scheme besides pastel?

Don't really care for the pastel colors working in 3d, what material settings do all you out there use as an alternative?
Guess I'm looking to show "true colors" kind of like Solidworks and etc. Tried _dyn_dim_3d and it looks better, don't
ask where it came from don't have a clue. See pics attached for ref.

Also on a side note my model doesn't "center" about the screen when in modeling mode, but it does in drafting.
Is there a hidden setting for this? Yes tried "zoom extents" but has no effect. Has something to do with the ribbon
I think.
