In Vertex Paint Mode, Blender 2.8 doesn’t show white- and light-coloured areas correctly; instead, these become tinted with the material viewport colour.

Example .blend file: vertex-paint-bug-in-2.8.blend

In 2.8, you can be pretty explicit on how this is drawn.
The best thing to see you "raw" colors is to:

set viewport to Flat lighting
set Color to Vertex

Dont see a bug here, closing.... (but feel free to comment again if issues persist...)

Thank you for suggesting that workaround.

But I’ve been thinking about this, and I still don’t understand why it now works this way. What exactly is the point of mixing in the material viewport colour into the light areas of the vertex colour layer but not the dark ones? It just seems like an unnecessary extra step to working in vertext-paint mode.

not sure about the mixing (arent these just multiplied?)
CC @Jeroen-Bakker: where there any plans to change Viewport Shading Color settings depending on mode? [like setting this to Vertex in vertex-paint mode?]
Or do it like in Texture Paint (where seemingly the Color setting has no effect whatsoever)?
I personally like the flexibility of the drawing, but I agree it should be consistent across modes, no? (texture paint vs vertex paint)

We will do the same like we do in texture painting. There is already a task for that

Great, if we have a TODO task for this [which one btw.? Is this on {#63745}?], we could close this one?

waiting for @Jeroen-Bakker to tell us the TODO task and close this (or confirm)...

@Jeroen-Bakker: not sure who is working on "We will do the same like we do in texture painting. There is already a task for that" or where this could be merged into?

Will assign you for now...

Yes, think the issue was discussed and was put on my desk, but not administrated correctly.

Will need to check with @PabloDobarro what how the vertex painting during sculpting will replace the vertex painting mode. If that is the case it will be superseded by sculpting. Otherwise we will force the vertex overlay rendering using the vertex coloring in workbench.

Vertex color rendering is done in D5975 using the PBVH. We should probably keep the current vertex paint overlay when vertex paint becomes attribute paint, then it is going to make more sense.
