Not a lot of skin has been preserved, but we assume it was much like that of modern reptiles. At least one dinosaur, the saltasaurus, have thick plates here and there imbedded in its skin, presumably for defense.

What is a dinosaurs skin like?
It is not known exactly as skin is not usually preserved in fossils. However in the cases where skin is preserved it is found to have varied between different types of dinosaur. Some had scales like modern reptiles while others, especially small theropods, had feathers and possibly birdlike skin.
What type of dinosaur is green dinosaur?
Dinosaurs were gone from the earth long, long before man came. No human being has ever seen a dinosaur. Fossil remains do not preserve skin color and for the most part do not preserve anything at all like skin. So the color of dinosaurs is only guesswork; no one knows.
