> I tried using a different attribute index from 0, and the colours are now showing up. I had come across the link earlier that you posted, but didn't realise that was how OpenGL worked (I tested it out in an OpenGL app and got the same problem as in my OSG app, with the slightly deformed mesh and no colours).

So that's what I want to do now in my OSG app. But I cannot get it to work, it just renders nothing. I have tried different attribute values (from '0 and 1', '10 and 11', to '0 and 11'), but to no avail.
