Well to start they had scales or feathers, not bare skin. But also, humans have no proof of what the colors of dinosaur scales/feathers were since they decompose unlike the bones. They only have evidence of scales/feathers because of imprints in the rocks by the fossils. However, the chameleon can change colors. It does this using cells called chromatophores which contain pigment or reflect light in certain ways. They mainly change colors for display to prospective mates but it can also change according to temperature and mood. Camouflage is a more of a secondary reason.

No one really knows what color the dinosaurs were. But due to modern analogs (Alligators and birds) we can assume that dinosaurs were green like other reptiles. But unfortunately, we will never know because it is very hard for soft-part of the body to become fossilized.
