And so few patterns! Not just muted colors but a lack of stripes, spots, collars, speckles.

I remember being told Spielberg said “I can’t scare people with technicolor dinosaurs” when Jurassic Park was being planned and I guess that bad logic stuck.

Which is ironic because the wrong sort of people are terrified of drag queens and they're ALL stripes spots and speckles

And as you say, the “flashy” male dinosaurs in the series are mostly bigger with maybe some extra hues here or there. Dudes afraid of color, just going with the Mesozoic equivalent of jeans and a tee.

One of these days I’m due some influence on sfx dinosaurs and they’re going to shine ✨
