Was seeing some very, very odd failures in multicore processing using `furrr` when `SummarizedExperiment` was loaded, when using R 4.4.1

I'm guessing there was a weird thing in the `BiocGenerics` package that wasn't playing nice.

So part of today's fun was upgrading to #RStats 4.6.0 (source on older fedora 39, and deb on Pop!OS) to get the latest version of #Bioconductor packages.

That seems to have fixed the bug I was seeing, at least.

Used my last week to build a minimal website to show my current #art works. It is built using #RStats and #QuartoPub avoiding any google etc. requests.

This is my most recent work. The popacorn is stamped using an "O", the acorns with a stamp "organize":

#RStats does anyone know of an R library that will convert a hex/RGB value into a text description of the colour? Nothing poetic required, just "bright yellow" or "dark red" would be fine.

EDIT: ColorNameR will do the job and is on CRAN (thanks to Karl for the answer!)
