I haven't found a definite solution. Since I don't fully understand the histogram behavior with different styles to accurately expose to the right, just exposing to what I feel is the "correct exposure". In raw, I do tend to expose a bit to the right. It would be nice if the camera had zebras function but I don't think it does.

I just keep it in the standard picture style unless I'm shooting raw+jpg, in which case I shoot for the out of camera jpg and not post (raw).

Right ?

You got me studying on it though !

I did find when the camera is connected to my computer using EOS Utility with live view on the computer screen I can see the histogram change when I select different picture styles in the main control panel.

You didn't need to go through the trouble of hooking up the EOS Utility.  The in-camera histogram clearly moves with changes to picture style settings, even if the camera is set to RAW only.  While harder to see, significant changes to the white balance will also move the histogram.
