You could paint the fabric but you would have to choose a dark color to cover the deep color of the leaves.
Spray upholstery dye is at full line auto parts stores.
If you want to cut out shapes or make stripes w/ blue painters tape, put them on the fabric, then spray it, it would give you pattern options.
If you are handy and can sew, that would be an easy fix. Just make the cover for them to put over the existing fabric. Make sure you go with a solid and a bit darker color. If you are going to use them quite often, I would stay away from the paint as it comes off really fast...just stating my personal experience.
Hope it helps! Bushra

Patio Chairs Prettily Painted
Outside fabric is ery expensive! I would choose a color of RIT dye, mix in a. Old bucket, wear gloves and use a sponge to pat the color change on. You only need to do the center section. Relax and have fun!
Brand name 'outdoor fabric' such as Sunbrella is expensive, as the fibres have been pre-treated to be UV Fade resistant, and Water resistant. (not proof)
However, there are many other fabrics with a dense weave that are much cheaper than, and just as durable as brand-name choices. They can be used as effectively on outdoor patio furniture.
If you start with a pattern or color that is not so dark, fading will naturally be less. If you spray the cushions yourself with Scotchguard spray to make the fabric stain and water resistant, you can save big $.
