Recently paleontologists have discovered a way to find out the colors of dinosaurs. They found out that you can look inside feathers and find something called a "melanosomes". Melanosomes are little sacks that are filled with color. They are found in feathers and follicles. Scientists can look at these and decipher what the colors of dinosaurs used to be. Although this method isn't extremely efficient, it is one step in the direction of finding out the colors of dinosaurs. With this method they can find out the specific color patterns in dinosaurs, just from dinosaur fossils!
