Harry, you need to acquaint yourself with another of those quirky, oddball configuration 'interfaces' of Pro/e. It's located (in WF1) in 'View>Display settings>System colors'. From here, you can create or load a system colors file (with an extension of .scl ~ just an ascii file with a bunch of numbers for different settings). To create a file, save the current settings to a file (default name is SYSCOL.SCL). But, unlike a Windows program, it neither saves nor loads automatically. In config.pro, you need to find an option called system_colors_file and browse to the location of your SYSCOL.SCL and select it.
When this file is loaded, you can edit it by picking a tabbed page that corresponds to the type of color you wish to change. If you don't like the colors of geometry display or the way datums display or even the way text displays, you can change it here. I'm not sure what governs centerline color. In sketcher, it should appear as a dashed line, though possibly the same color as geometry. One way or the other, it should be distinguishable from geometry.
