I’ve used JE Moser dyes to tint my woodworking finishes and they are available as water, alcohol and oil soluble powders.

I've done similar with toner lacquer meant for wood on bright brass to age it and prevent re-tarnishing...I also used blond toner lacquer on a Motorola logo for a TS-18 that had lost most of its brass plating and was some kind of pewter looking base metal underneath...It looks like mint bright brass with the blond toner lacquer.
