People, in fact, do not know the colors of nearly all prehistoric animals, including dinosaurs. Recently, however, scientists have found a technique to determine the colors of a fossilized feathers by examining them with a microscope. Therefor, the colors of a two, early bird-like dinosaurs, are as follows:

Confuciusornis (an early bird, similar to Archaeopteryx): Feathers show regions of gray, red/brown, and black.

Anchiornis: For this, you would probably like to see a picture, showing it just as it would have looked in real life (except the tail, whose colors are still unknown). You can see a picture of an Anchisornis in its true colors by going to the related link.

People don't know because the paleontologists have not yet discovered how to find out the color of dinosaurs.

All that is left of dinosaurs is their fossilized bones.
