File > Export Mesh... and File > Start Recording... now support saving meshes as .PLY format, with vertex colors.

Opening these .ply file in Meshlab will show the colors by default.

When importing the .ply file into Blender 2.8, use this option to show the vertex colors: image

The Stop-motion-OBJ add-on for Blender supports PLY files, allowing an animation to be made: bunny_blender

To see the vertex colors when rendering, make a new material and click here to set the material base color: image and then here to choose vertex colors: image Result: bunny_blender_rendered

(This was with the Eevee renderer. Can we do the same thing with Cycles?)
