Before the latest patch rolled around, I had my HUD tweaked to a purple color using the GraphicsConfiguration.xml file. But when the update happened everything reverted back to normal, as it normally does, only this time I couldn't change it back. It seems the location of the Graphics files and such was changed slightly, and now when I change the values nothing happens in-game.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Yes, lots of people had that issue. It is because you are making the edits in the wrong place. There is a specific override file you should edit instead of the main config file.

Mine is here...
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml
.
And contains this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<GraphicsConfig>
<GUIColour>
<Default>
<LocalisationName>Standard</LocalisationName>
<MatrixRed> 0, 0.33, 0.75 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 1, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0, 0 </MatrixBlue>
</Default>
</GUIColour>
<FOV>75.000000</FOV>
</GraphicsConfig>
