Birds have a huge spectrum of colours and patterns,so i would presume dinosaurs would have have had the same variations

Why wouldn't you look at the coloration of existing birds as a reference? Nearly all large birds are dark in color or kind of a brindle like the emu. I have no idea what environment that zebra dino above fits into.

You know, it just occurred to me that feathers on a ground-living dinosaur might have served as a sort of ghillie suit, breaking up its outline; very useful for either predator or prey. Could be how feathers got started before they evolved for flight.
