Should I always change it to give neutral colors?

Or should it match to what I'm actually seeing?
>>
Don't try to match it to what you're seeing. The LCD is daylight balance, regardless of what the ambient light is, which will make this impossible.

Just shoot in raw, and select your white balance in post, on an accurate display, to achieve the look you want.

this

Under tricky lighting shoot raw+jpg with auto wb or selected. In post try to recreate the colours you remember or want.

Just remembered, a trip posted a thingy for night shots (where it is probably most problematic), here it is: pic related.

If color accuracy matters shoot with a grey card or swatches

>shoot raw+jpeg with auto wb or selected

No need to shoot raw+jpeg, just raw will do.

The (jpeg) preview of your raw files have white balance applied.
And in post you can select "as shot" under the white balance settings if you want the jpeg/preview version.
