The key is studying these really tiny structures called melanosomes which tell us what pigments or color particles could be on the dinosaur. Scientists can use these clues to estimate what color a dinosaur might be.

Scientists can guess what colors dinosaurs might have been by looking at fossilized remains for tiny structures called melanosomes that hold pigments. They also compare these fossils to modern birds, analyze chemical signs of color, and use advanced imaging techniques. Plus, they consider how dinosaurs might have lived and behaved to make their best educated guesses about their coloration.
