Default Muting Case Colors

I recently purchased a reconditioned Parker that had been recase colored. I don't know if these colors are bone charcoal or cyanide but the colors, while somewhat attractive, overpower the engraving underneath. The colors are quite "muddy" in appearance, and I would like to thin them out somehow so that the engraving is a bit more apparent. Has anyone here successfully attempted this before, and if so, were you pleased with the result and how did you go about doing this.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
