Import PLY doesn't display vertex colors

Question

I'm trying to import a .PLY mesh in Blender. I've troubles with colors: the mesh appear in a grayscale palette. Other softwares open it correctly (eg. MeshLab).

This is the header of the PLY file:

ply
format binary_big_endian 1.0
comment created by Geomagic Sculpt Exporter.
element vertex 182488
property float x
property float y
property float z
property uchar red
property uchar green
property uchar blue
element face 364980
property list uchar int vertex_indices
end_header

Any tips? Thanks!

The .PLY importer makes a Vertex Color Layer, if you switch to it you will see the colours.

And as a cycles material:
