The name "Chromodactyl" is derived from the Greek words "chroma" meaning color and "dactylos" meaning finger, referring to speculative theories about the potential coloration of these creatures based on fossilized pigment traces.

The proposed classification of Chromodactyl places it within a poorly understood clade of theropods, though its
Since its initial proposal, the concept of Chromodactyl has been met with skepticism within the paleontological
