$\begingroup$ If you wish to use cycles materials on your object, you can't expect to see them in the viewport, except in "rendered" mode (next major version 2.8 will likely hugely improve this). $\endgroup$– m.arditoCommented Oct 17, 2017 at 7:35

Scroll to the very bottom of the Materials panel, go to Settings and use the Viewport Color. ;)

This is not an issue, its the default behavior of the blender, if you want to see the materials in solid mode you may use the material tab to drag and drop same color on the Viewport color just under the settings. As shown below:
