What kind of color scheme do you prefer?

I'm mostly interested in the distinctiveness of the colors. I want to be able to look at a station or a ship or an asteroid or whatever from a long ways away from it and still be able to tell what it is once I've seen it before without having to look at the map to check. Whether it's a Split Mamba, a Argon Nova, a Trading Dock, I'd like to be able to look at it from far off and instantly know what it is, and color is a big part of that.

Personally, I just want to see some variety.

Nothing wrong with some glitzy colourful New New Vegas In Space sectors. But it would be nice if there were also some brutally dull (i.e. realistic) sectors to contrast the styles.

I don't really like the idea of the colour filter, because it appears like it's just going to mute all the colours, instead of limiting their use (or overuse).

Yes, this - nobody paints an outpost mining station to make it colourful and fun, its built as cheaply as possible.

The core sectors with expensive retail units would be full of colourful flashing "buy stuff here" neon.
