Does FreeCAD support 3D scans with color?

I am trying to design a simple case for a laptop motherboard, and thought to get around the distortion happening with my pictures by taking a 3d scan of it with Kiri Engine.

Everything looks fine in the preview of it and everything, but when I import the OBJ into FreeCAD it is just grey and I can't distinguish the mounting holes from the rest of the board.

Thanks in advance

I would guess no. STEP colors still doesn't even work after years and years of users trying different fixes. 😅

Colors are definitely a pain point in freecad.
