You can use the Advanced tab page to modify the scene shadow, a number of global display settings, and the scene colors.

The scene color settings for various elements including the scene bounding box, scene axes, and vertices, are displayed using the Navigation toolbar. Changing the color of an element affects all file formats. Note that the color can only be changed for elements that have been enabled in the original images or model.

Following are the different elements in different settings:
