Enhancements

hex_to_color(): Now accepts 8-digit hex codes with alpha channel
- Automatically strips alpha channel from #RRGGBBAA format codes

- Works seamlessly with paletteer and other packages that output colors with transparency

get_color_data(): New function to export the complete color database as a data frame
- Returns all 32,462 color names with their hex codes
- Data frame format makes it easy to explore, filter, and analyze colors
- Sorted alphabetically by color name
- Perfect for creating custom color palettes or searching for specific colors
create_color_table(): New function to create visual color swatch tables
- Displays colors with names, hex codes, and visual color swatches
- Uses the gt package for beautiful formatted tables

Added 8 new tests for create_color_table() (with proper handling of optional gt dependency)
All 104 tests passing
