I found this link just yesterday or the day before, and I was glad to see that
the three stone colors were on it. Now I have the RGB values, although the RGB
for Dark Stone Grey doesn't seem to work too well.

Light stone grey seems to be working well with l3p and POV-Ray. For now at

gray--and maybe do some additional tweaking--that might be good enough for my
rendering purposes.
Thanks for your response!
