Additionally, dinosaurs actually seem to be much closer to birds than reptiles now.

So then by that argument of "closer" it only makes more sense that dinosaur skin may be more colorful than we thought?

No, it means that dinosaurs most likely have soft skin and had feathers.

I think of it more by environment. It’s unlikely that a bright orange dinosaur would be living in a rainforest, where it needs to use camouflage, for either hunting or hiding.
