Usually I change an object's color by assigning a material to it. But I also noticed that objects have a color property which can be modified in the user interface with

Properties -> Object -> Display -> Object Color

and in Python with

bpy.data.objects['object_name'].color

However, neither of these methods seems to change the object's color in the 3D view or in a rendered image.

So, is there a way to use the color property to change an object's color? If not, what is the color property for?

You can change the Display Mode in Solid View, and pick Object.
