Part Color in assemblies vs part files

Starting with the 2019 update I believe, The difference in appearance colors for all of my parts between assembly files and part files is pretty drastic. The color is the assembly file is actually correct, and when I updated to 2019, the color in my part files became much darker. See examples attached. I would like for the appearance in the part files to match what is in the assemblies without having to go back and edit all the RGB values in my material library. Is there a way to do this?

Yep.. Other users have stated they too have this issue only to find out that their lighting style is different between part and assembly files.. Simply ensuring that both are using the same lighting style solves their issues..

Your part is set to Grey Room.

What do you observe if you set your Assembly to Grey Room?

Also, I recommend modeling Sheet Metal parts in the finished state.

(Almost) never, ever Fold a flat sheet.

Let the software generate correct Flat Pattern from finished model.
