Don't waste your time... This program crash or hang every three actions (on a Mac, perhaps it's stable on other platforms) Use Blender to correct your file. It's not its principal function, but it's working...

Until Blender supports vertex coloring in .OBJ files, like the models produced by Meshmixer, MeshLab seems like the tool to use, at least to convert to something like PLY format that Blender probably does support.

See e.g. How can I include vertex color information in .OBJ files? - Game Development Stack Exchange https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/21303/how-can-i-include-vertex-color-information-in-obj-files/66270#66270

What is MeshLab?

MeshLab is made for processing 3D scans. Point clouds can be trianglulated into triangle meshes using various techniques. Models can be smoothed, cleaned and repaired.

MeshLab is also a great 3D model viewer and converter. It can convert between many 3D file formats:

import:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, PTX, V3D, PTS, APTS, XYZ, GTS, TRI, ASC, X3D, X3DV, VRML, ALN

export:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, VRML, DXF, GTS, U3D, IDTF, X3D
