While no one knows the exact colors of dinosaurs, scientists believe many had earth-toned colors like browns, greens, and grays for camouflage. However, some may have had bright colors like modern-day birds! Feel free to use any colors you like — from realistic earth tones to wild rainbow patterns. Try using darker shades along the edges and lighter colors in the center to create a 3D effect.
