White Font Color Does Not Set

[elizabet...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm using xlsx to create a templated table write out function for work and ran into an issue when trying to set the header font to white. The font color will not stay. A Stack Overflow response pointed me toward the fact setting the color to anything BUT white seems to work fine.

For example code and current best response:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27030486/font-coloring-using-xlsx-package-in-r/27030910#27030910

I'm using Font(color = "#fefefe") for now, which does set, but would like to understand why the white color setting won't work and hopefully fix it.

Thank you!
