How can I darken temporary crowns?

Question

I chipped my front tooth previously and they put a filling on it. It lasted for years and it chipped off yesterday. Went in and they told me a crown is recommended. They had limited colors for the resin and my temporary crown is lighter than the rest of the other front teeth. Not happy, can I darken it someway?

Hi:

Normally drinking staining liquids such as tea and coffee will darken temporaries.
