You may look at Jurassic parks dinosaurs and look at how drab the dinosaurs were,by put we're they really like that?
Drab colors would help with camouflage but wouldn't help with mating which if you let out a loud mating call all your gonna get is a hungry carnivore
Colorful dinosaurs would be good because it would help with intimidation,display,and mating display
Leave a comment on what you think if colorful tell me which dinosaur and why;)
Well we already know the color of a few dinosaurs. Sinornithosaurus I think was orange and black from fossilized pigmentation and Microraptor was black. I'm sure there's another but yeah.
Many dinosaurs, like Spinosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Irritator and Oxalaia had colorful ridge/sails if anything. It just seems likely for some reason.
I would be really surprised if Spinosaurus didn't look like this

Their closest relatives -birds and lizards- are colorful most of the time so I don't see why they wouldn't be.
We will never know what they actually fully look like until we get a very well preserved specimen...
OR ( the more exciting way) We go and genetically create the creatures (FUN)
Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

Males were probably more colorful than females. Like modern birds. Perhaps Spinosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Stegosaurus, and others could change the color of their plates/sails by pumping blood into them. I bet the crests of dinosaurs like Allosaurus and others had a splash of color. Birds and crocodilians can see in color, so it's likely dinosaurs could too.

Feathered dinosaurs probably had splashes of color too...

Agreed. Look at the last pic. The male raptors have splashes of blue, while the females are more plain.
