Answered: Color Map Question
polycounter lvl 5
Do I need to use the Quixel swatches to assign my mesh objects colors in Maya?
I ask because I am using Vray for Maya and I find doing a Diffuse pass is much cleaner and easier than the transfer method. Unfortunately, I have to use Vray materials to achieve this.
When I bring everything into DDO and open up 3DO and hit the C key, it never gives me my colors, it's just black.
I'm using PS CC 2015 and Quxiel 2.10.
UPDATE: Initially I had 4 meshes with 6 colors for the IDs which gave me the problem I describe above. I then merged all the meshes in Maya and exported the OBJ. Now 3DO is displaying all the colors when I press the C key.
Could there be a bug with multiple meshes and color IDs?

You don't need to use a specific color for any particular reason right now. In the future, the Quixel Colors plugin will allow assigning colors that link automatically for you, but for now, you can choose anything you want to use.
Could you show us an image of this model with its associated mesh groups highlighted?
