Why not? I have seen mesh files where each triangle had a unique
pigment definition. Each line of the mesh file had a triangle
definition followed by a pigment definition. This makes for a much
larger mesh file, and it takes longer to parse than an uncolored mesh,
but it does work. One doesn't *have* to #declare pigments or textures
in advance if using something like "rgb <0.8, 0.4, 0.2>" to define the
colors on each line is acceptable.
