no.  but as far as i can tell, the colors specified in the SVG
file are ignored by sugar, whether the icon is on the frame or on
the ring, so which colors one chooses to draw with, or even
"ship" with, seem to be immaterial.  i think bert's (and then my) point
was just that it can be easier to think about the design while
drawing it if using colors, rather than black/grey.
