The past few days, I've been working in that same file. But to isolate it, I opened blender to a clean file to test the single commands, each of them worked. I had somehow gotten blender into an odd state in the prior file. There was some kind of interaction when I was slowly building up the code in 4.5 to apply the hex transformed linear rgb value to the plane. I had cleaned up the code in 4.4 and when pasted into a fresh 4.5 the code works as intended. Thank you for that, I will remind myself to build in a clean file if a set of commands returns the state failure.
