Is it possible to display RGB values attached to LAS datasets in ArcMap?

I have a LAS dataset that has been converted to LASD. In ArcScene, I am able to display the associated RGB values for each point, but can't seem to do the same in ArcMap. Perhaps more importantly, I would like to be able to see the RGB values in the Profile View to aid me in classifying the data. I am currently using an Advanced ArcGIS 10.2.2 license, but have access to 10.3 and/or ArcPro if those will help make editing my LAS datasets easier.

In case anyone else encounters the same question: I obtained an ArcPro license and was able to load the RGB values to the points in the 2D Map viewer. ArcPro also had increased selection/editing capabilities. Still doesn't look like ESRI is indexing the LASD data. As far as I can tell, LASD datasets can only be selected through queries, not using the select tool.
