They are able to determine color through some random genetic stuff that they find in or with the fossils...

Or something like that

This. Also T-Rex had feathers if you didn't already know. Cool to think about.

i think baby t-rexs had feathers, but they lost them as they matured, velociraptors however had feathers their entire life.

because there is only a certain bit of wavelength that is visible light (aka color) and we have seen every single color in there.

How do you know the limitations of the eye when dealing with something we haven't discovered?

because if you show an eye every possible wavelength of light, it will only be able to see the visible light spectrum

really has nobody ever thought of this before? well while we are on the topic...



what if everybody viewed colors differently. IE whatever i thought was red, was actually green. but growing up anytime i saw that color i thought it was red from being told thats what it was called. like say everyother person saw in negative, they just never realised it and there is no way too prove it. you hear a name too a color and thats what you call it.

Word, I don't think it's definitely known about T-Rex in particular, but there were definitely Tyranasoids that had feathers their entire life.

But think about when you're with your friends and you say "check out that green shirt!" everyone always agrees because they see the same thing.

Maybe they were all just different tones of grey and there was no happiness and they just killed eachother and then some rock or shit came out of the sky and they died.
