What color were dinosaurs ?

We can learn much about dinosaurs from fossils, but their color has long remained a mystery.

Just as with animals today it seems reasonable that a lot of them would need to be camouflaged, so probably mostly earth colors. Their skin patterns could have been impressive, though.

Perhaps it's more fun to not know what color they were? That way the possibilities are endless.

There's a tremendous variation amongst the 10,000 or so species that we have today, so I doubt we'll be confined that much.

There's been some work with marine reptiles, getting an idea on how they look. Results were sort of reminiscent of modern marine mammals and large predators. 

 As I recall, anyway.
