Future ghost Posted May 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted May 27, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Perhaps it's more fun to not know what color they were? That way the possibilities are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSot Posted May 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
