Has anyone made a log cabin block with using just three colors, a dark, a light and then a color for the center.. Do you think it would look ok?

Of course! Better yet, make it of two colors -- maybe blue and purple with a red center, for instance.....but use multiple different blues and purples to give the many blocks lots of texture and interest.

Here are a couple I made years ago, sort of like what I mean.

Log cabins lend themselves to many options, just google log cabin quilts and you will find tons of inspiration. It's one of my favorite patterns.

I've seen them all in one color that was stitched in the ditch and it was lovely.

All of the above Log Cabin quilts are gorgeous. I haven't made any in a while, I need to put it on a list. No,no, that wouldn't work, I would just lose the list.
