In the set I have, the white rocks and the bridge rocks are exactly the same colour.   I thought the 3-of-a-kind bonus for white rocks was a bit weird as sometimes it means you are better off playing a white rock than playing a blue rock on a blue double bonus location,   but on the other hand I guess you could look at it as compensation for being "unlucky" and drawing many low-scoring rocks
