\brief Generation and processing of per-vertex and per-face colors according to various strategy.

This class is used to compute per face or per vertex color with respect to a number of algorithms.
There is a wide range of algorithms for processing vertex color in a \i photoshop-like mode (changing for example contrast, white balance, gamma)
Basic Tools for mapping quality into a color according to standard color ramps are here.
