In the current KiCad V5.1.8 you can change layer colors and opacity by double clicking on the small colored rectangle before the layer name in the Layer manager.
In KiCad V5.99, (going to be V6) there are more options such as separate opacity for tracks and zones and presets that can be saved and loaded from a file.

@triffid_hunter patched his KiCAD to conform more to his taste, maybe it is similar to what you are looking for ?
I couldn’t stand how kicad always puts stuff in my way when I’m doing PCB layout and wants me to only be able to see 1-2 layers at once, so I patched it to be more like Eagle 7:
Forum is complaining that new users can’t post attachments, so see screenshots at https://i.imgur.com/6cCgWqr.png and sqQwPmJ.png
Patch against kicad-5.1.7 at https://pastebin.com/vhgaHRTK
I don’t even remotely expect this patch to be merged as-is, but it would be amazing if there were an option in pcbnew preferences …
Have you try the highlight mode ?
Also as Paul commented earlier, you can change the transparency of your layer by double clicking on the layer manager.
