Vertex Color Swapper v1.0 for Maya

This Maya utility allows you to get a palette from whatever mesh you select, then modify each color individually. I wrote this tool after realising that despite how useful vertex colors can be (for game artists especially), Maya does not have a quick workflow to replace a single color easily on a mesh.

This tool has a couple of caveats:
-The more vertices, the slower (as is often the case when handling each vertex and its associated color data)
-Precision can be tricky with colors, as many colors can be considered 'similar' in the HSV space, despite the differences perceived by the human eye. So the more colors, the less precise the replacing process becomes
-If you have smoothed colors, this utility will tend to overwrite whatever color was there depending on the required precision
