How Do We Know What Colors Dinosaurs Were?
For a long time, dinosaur colors were just guesses. But today, scientists can figure out the real colors of some fossils! Inside fossil feathers and skin, they’ve found tiny color particles. Their shape reveals whether an animal was black, brown, or reddish. That’s how we know some small dinos were reddish-brown striped or shimmery black. Artists who draw dinosaurs are called paleoartists.
