I imported a mesh, but the model is pitch black, so I can't make out any details besides the silhouette. I tried changing the appearance to make it easier to see, but these changes are only visible when I'm actively reorienting the fusion360 view (zooming in/out, rotating view from corner cube) otherwise it goes back to black. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

My guess here (hard to say without more info) is that you have a very dense mesh.  The "black" that you are seeing are the facet edges.  Try setting the view style to "Shaded":
