Fabric paint but God knows if it would be satifactory. I dont. Anyway its probably not available in other than small pots. In a year or two's time you'll be needing to renew the strip .

Unlike Bond girls there is no reason for the collars and cuffs to match!

I don't know about paint but you could always get a new sacrificial strip fitted.
I have to ask though....why didn't you get dodgers to match the sacrificial strip?

Would you really want faded new dodgers?

Try unfurling it - people won't notice.

Having a new sacrifical strip put on might easily cost less than your new dodgers cost to have made. It would be the better option.

Why do you SHOUT when you type?

Fair point. I read the OP as meaning that he had got a different colour, rather than faded.
If it's just faded, personally I wouldn't worry about it
