This one is actually known from the real colors~ The fossil was so well preserved they could compare imprints of color cells to modern feathers and determine that the head was red, body was black, and wings were colorless with black tips(although the white could have had a different non-melanin pigment that doesn't fossilize, like bright yellow, certain greens, or reds).
