I hope that it will be accepted as the default. Considering the complaints against the monochrome icons, what do you think about using the Haiku icons which are MIT-licensed [1]? Since Haiku is a desktop OS, their icons must have had conscious design decision into them and mainly they are not monochromatic but colourful; I haven't checked but they _should_ hopefully cover all the icons Emacs would need. The icons are not in a common image format but there exists a GitHub repository [2] that has the icons converted to SVG.
