If your model already has a texture (i.e. the original file had a texture) then it should be properly exported when saving the model to an OBJ file.

Otherwise, colors are probably stored per-vertex (and not in a texture) and CloudCompare won't be able to create a texture (and OBJ doesn't handle per-vertex colors sadly).

If you do have vertex color ....

It is possible to convert vertex color to a texture map with Blender, here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwbmLsYTeyU
I believe Meshlab is able to do this as well, although Blender has more options for the mapping.

After the vertex color is converted, then its possible to export an OBJ with a texture map.
