With RGB you can get or set the layers to be used as Red, Green and Blue when plotting a SpatRaster. Currently, the sole benefit of this is that plot will send the object to plotRGB
With RGB2col you can convert a three-layer RGB SpatRaster into a single-layer SpatRaster with a color-table.
vector of three (or four) positive integers indicating the layers that are red, green and blue (and optionally a fourth transparancy layer). Or NULL to remove the RGB settings. With RGB2col, this argument can be missing if RGB(x) is not NULL
