The STL 3D model format is a very simple format:
-no colours
-no transparency
-no textures
-no submodels
-no animation
-only flat shading
3D printing
Yes the format is limited, but it has all you need for single colour 3D printing and as a result has become a very popular format.
A wealth of very useful 3D models in the STL format can be found on sites like this:

printables.com
BluffTitler
BluffTitler version 16.3.1, launched today, supports the STL format!
Colour
The STL format does not support colours. Use the COLOUR prop of the model layer to add colour.
Textures
The STL format does not support textures. The NormalMapper effect can be used to add textures:
