Use Spray Fabric paint for exterior use
I tried dyeing sun bleached fabric before, and it totally didn't work. Paint is your best option, unless you want to replace the fabric (and you are crafty or know someone who is); get an outdoor fabric paint. Anything else won't last or be weatherproof.

I have seen where others have remade the umbrella cover, ah, no thanks! ๐
I would dye it using Rit Dye in a tub. They have two formulas, one for natural fabrics and one for synthetics (DyeMore)..... https://www.ritdye.com/color-formulas/ Then I would give it a waterproofing treatment using one with UV protection.
At Home Depot or Lowes, they recommended Storm(?) Paint-blue. I just painted it with brushes (gazebo top) It has not faded. Been out there almost 4 years.
