Colour Information from OBJ files

Is there any way of retaining the colour information from 3D OBJ files? Or any other 3D filetype?

For most of my projects I've used Collada (.DAE) format. As a low-poly fan, instead of textures I've mostly used vertex colours, and it works well. I have used some .OBJ files, but Collada is my go to.

Modelling software that's worked for me to import into MMV without issues are: Blender and MagicaVoxel. (I've also run models through MeshLab for conversion with good results.)

Here's an example: https://vimeo.com/221618926#t=90s

I tried a collada filetype but I'm still having the issue. I'm essentially rendering a png logo into a 3d extrustion inside Photoshop.

The color information is definitely stored as when I open the file in photoshop it shows. But once I try to use it in magic, its just grey.
