When importing a a shape from a PLY file, face color are not apply correctly. It looks like the face is triangulated then color is applied. Each face with more than 3 vertices don't have the same color.
It is expected that the entire face be the same color. Here's a simple shape to demonstrate the issue. It would be expected that this cube be completely red. I attached the result I am seeing.
