You're missing one thing.  You want:

  layer(data = somdf, geom = "tile", aes(fill=rgb))

(i.e. there's an aes function wrapped around the fill).  I'd probably
use a few more of the built in defaults to get:

  geom_tile(aes(fill = rgb))

Could you provide a fuller description of what you're trying to do?

Not at the moment.

Just in R at the moment - see ?opts.
