It seems that vertex painting is not working in “blank” projects, but it does work in the other templates.
To come to this conclusion, I just created a blank project, added a sphere to the default scene, went to the painting tab, and started painting with “Color View Mode” set to RGB. It remains all black. Is there a setting that I am missing somewhere?
