  We determine (partly by computer search) the chromatic index (edge-chromatic
number) of many strongly regular graphs (SRGs), including the SRGs of degree $k
\leq 18$ and their complements, the Latin square graphs and their complements,
and the triangular graphs and their complements. Moreover, using a recent
result of Ferber and Jain it is shown that an SRG of even order $n$, which is
not the block graph of a Steiner 2-design or its complement, has chromatic
index $k$, when $n$ is big enough. Except for the Petersen graph, all
investigated connected SRGs of even order have chromatic index equal to their
degree, i.e., they are class 1, and we conjecture that this is the case for all
connected SRGs of even order.
