jucava - to get the canopy to look like that, Pick up a box of "Rit" dye (Black) at your local grocery store. Fill a pan (that's big enough to submerse the canopy) with warm water, add the dye, and soak the canopy until you achieve the desired tint.

Note: Black dye will give that gold color. If you want the canopy black use both black and blue dye.
