If you check the Edit Colors box (or press the "E" hotkey), then editing would be blocked and now you will be able to use a mouse to paint vertices of a terrain. After left-clicking on the terrain you will paint with RGB color from the left side of the Setting Window, while right-clicking will use RGB color from the right side. Vertex Painting is most useful if you want to make some shadows on a ground, e.g. darken the area around a building or a stone.
