Best Answer
There are a lot of icons on your system. A directory like
/usr/share/unity/icons/
has a lot of them dedicated to Unity. So has/usr/share/icons/
(that one also has specific icons for gEdit per theme installed). Be careful: icons can be copyrighted so don't just copy them into your own software. Or they are "free-to-use if credits given to the author". It might be better to create your own if you want to avoid that.There are 3 main locations on the web for icons (not specifically for gEdit; you tend to get sets of icons with a matching theme). I listed some examples from both sites. These icon sets also can have copyright.
Installation:
The Ravefinity PPA has TONS of them. Source files.

Going a little bit off topic: icons do not need to be Ubuntu specific to be used in Ubuntu.
Flaticon has a lot of Vector icons and in categories but not specific to computers but all for free. Networking, Multimedia.
And to close this of a generic search on color icon sets on google.
