They're the official ones that come with 3.7, if that's what you're 
asking. That doesn't mean they're ideal for 3.7 though.

Maybe a good thing would be to copy the files (maybe name them 
"stones1_srgb.inc", for instance), and modify those copies.

Besides "rgb", which defines a color in terms of red, green and blue, 
there are also keywords that define the color's transmit and/or filter 
value at the same time; those are "rgbt", "rgbf", and "rgbft".

The keywords "srgbt", "srgbf" and "srgbft" also exist.
