I get the impression that dinosaur colours (and sounds) are something we might never know. Could be dull rinho hide could be a full bird of paradise explosion. Just the feathers bit is pretty recent news.
I’m doing reading on dino colours and paleos have found melanosomes in some fossil skin and feathers and can tell what colours and what patterns in markings.
Archeopteryx is black like a raven!! Many dinos are brown or grey for camouflage.
In some eras the sky was greenish and the sea was luminescent yellow.
