Can I generate a sequence of Views programatically in SwiftUI?

Here is a fragment of code that works for me…

    VStack(spacing: pad/2) { 
        getRgbColor(i:0)
            .onTapGesture { editColor(i:0) }
            .frame(width: pad, height: pad)
            .border(.black.opacity(0.5), width: 1)
                
        getRgbColor(i:1)
            .onTapGesture { editColor(i:1) }
            .frame(width: pad, height: pad)
            .border(.black.opacity(0.5), width: 1)
 
        getRgbColor(i:2)
            .onTapGesture { editColor(i:2) }
            .frame(width: pad, height: pad)
            .border(.black.opacity(0.5), width: 1)
    }

The original had more entries. It worked but you can see how it repeats. I may want to make a 6×4 set of patches that looks like a Macbeth target, so I wondered whether there was a better way that did not repeat so much. I tried moving the calls into the getRgbColor() call..

    func getRgbColor(i:Int) -> SwiftUI.Color {
        return SwiftUI.Color(red:   R + rgbDel[i][0] * step,
                             green: G + rgbDel[i][1] * step,
                             blue:  B + rgbDel[i][2] * step)
            .onTapGesture { editColor(i:0) }
            .frame(width: pad, height: pad)
            .border(.black.opacity(0.5), width: 1) as! Color 
    }

This compiled but gave a SIGABRT when I ran it…

Could not cast value of type
‘SwiftUI.ModifiedContent<SwiftUI.ModifiedContent<SwiftUI.ModifiedContent<SwiftUI.Color,
SwiftUI.AddGestureModifier<SwiftUI._EndedGesture<SwiftUI.TapGesture>>>,
SwiftUI._FrameLayout>,
SwiftUI._OverlayModifier<SwiftUI._ShapeView<SwiftUI._StrokedShape<SwiftUI.Rectangle._Inset>,

Is there a neat solution?
