What is Vertex Color in Blender?

Vertex Color in Blender refers to color data stored at each vertex of a mesh, which is used in vertex painting and shading. This technique allows for detailed control over a model's appearance without relying on textures, making it ideal for stylized effects or simpler models where texture mapping is unnecessary.

Use Cases in Blender

• Vertex Painting: Apply colors directly to the vertices of a model for a hand-painted look.

• Shading: Use vertex colors to add variations in shading, giving models a more organic appearance.

• Game Development: Vertex color is often used to add lightweight color data without the overhead of textures.
