"One thing that is different is all my white layers show up and appear black in model space. I've set my workspace background to black, so these layers are invisible. They are on layer 7..."

 

I assume by "layer 7" you actually mean "a layer that has color 7 assigned".

 

I assume by "white layers" you mean "objects on layers that are assigned a white color". Can you confirm that the layers you believe to be white are actually set up to use color 7? Can you confirm that the objects themselves don't have a different color assigned to them (not ByLayer) which overrides the layer color?

 

Note that the background color settings are not stored in the Workspace; they are stored in the Profile. So, changing the Workspace should not change your model space background color (or any other drawing window interface color for that matter), but changing the Profile certainly can.

 

Is it possible that your current profile actually has a non-black (but very black-looking) background color?

 

"...layer showed its colour as -255, 255, 255, but even the little box showing layer colour was black. I assumed it had 3 colours assigned to it to help show the object in 3D space..."

 

Those are actually not "3 colours", but a code that specifies a "True Color" - they are basically scales (hues) of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) that combine to produce a color that is more precise and nuanced than the AutoCAD Index colors. the color defined as 255, 255, 255 would appear "white" on a black (or black-looking) background, but you indicate that the first number is negative. I don't know if this is a mistake (typo) or if something changed it to negative (somehow).
