Honestly I would say the coloring on the T-rex in Jurassic Park and The Lost World did the best job for me. I didn't want to see purple, white, red, blue, or orange dinosaurs in JPIII, the only dino they got right was Pteradactyl. Spinosaurus wasn't that bad, either, but it just doesn't give you the same effect as a dinosaur that has coloring that is perfect camoflague, or an earthly color. Grey or tan is perfect for scary scenes, but I will agree with you for other dinosaurs that may be included, such as Brachiosaurus, or Triceratops, or Stegosaurus; they do need color. I think film makers should use the colorings of the dinosaurs to basically send the audience signals if one dino is a peaceful herbivore or a vicious carnivore. (The Pteradactyl is exception to this. It looks sweet.)
