Description
It might be a little too color full for a large sauropod, but it could at least pass for mating season colors(click image for full view)
Diplodocus is modified from my Alamosaurus model and fitted to 's skeletal

Meh, I don't think it is too colorful. It is very nice and plausible looking in fact.

This is the real life Psittacosaurus, and it shows it had countershading and they confirmed it was that color in real life. And based on REAL RESEARCH

Loooveee the patterns and markings you have here. I don't usually see sauropods with their proper scales either, so that's cool!

Looks nice.
It's not really too colourful for the sauropod as far as I can see it.

I don't see the problem of gigantic sauropod being colorful tbh. They are too large to hide anyway, so some more vivid coloration aren't probably gonna hurt and it might help in communication and stuff as well. Still, due to their constant exposure to sun light, they are proabbly limit to darker coloration to protect themselves from harmful UV.
Nice pattern btw!

Their large bodies would probably require some protection from UV indeed, as they were larger than most animals and couldn't hide from the sunlight as easily. Migratory sauropods, such as Brachiosaurus, would likely need even more protection. With that said, most sauropods (especially from the Jurassic) would probably be brownish and dark, and possibly not very bright in coloration. However, I don't think they'd be as monochromatic as elephants because reptiles tend to vary, presenting different shades and patterns. But yeah, I don't think they would that colorful.

it would probably be the opposite; animals like Elephants today don't need camoflauge, so they aren't colorful.

thank you
I would say that sauropods still could camouflage to a degree. Diplodocus carnegii isn't very large for a sauropod anyways, and I'm not a believer in the "too large to kill = bright colors over entire body"argument.
