Think of the largest birds like Condors, Ostriches, Emus, and so on. Both the carnivorous and herbivorous birds are very plain once they grow larger. Same for lizards, with Komodo Dragons and Monitor Lizards. The largest herbivorous lizard is the Iguana I believe and that's a dull green colour. Large crocodilians are also a grey colour.
Though, that's not to say they can't have interesting and intricate patterning. Lots of large animals can be quite beautiful for their contrasting patterns, and that's pretty cool. The Sub-Adult Triceratops works pretty well in that regard.
And I do agree that the frills should have some kind of colour on em, similar to a cassowary or turkey's display structures.
If you know of anything that goes against the general theory of bigger = less colour I'd love to hear it, because this is mostly armchair science. But, I do agree that some custom painted build your own sets would be a great idea.
I have a feeling the Albertaceratops will be my go-to buy once it's released, otherwise.
