Hi. I believe people use a product called rit-dye? I think it is a leather dye, or a fabric dye maybe. That is about all I know, hopefully others will come along with some advice.

You can get Rit in the powdered form or liquid form, I usually dilute it with rubbing alcohol if it needs it, works good but mixed with straight H2o it will raise a little grain, that's why I use the alcohol, it is cheap and you can get it anywhere

Dont forget to remove the rind first,you never get the dye to stay on if you dont.
