try a dark, matte gray spray paint, and try to spray it faintly and evenly all over it....

There is a soap / laundery detergent out on the market ( forgot the name of it ) I think it might be called " Nu - Camo " or something like that it's used for hunting clothes but you might be able to put this soap / detergent in a 5 gl. bucket and some water and sponge it on your blindas you would wash a car.
Another name could be" Camo - Restore "if that doesn't work theres always spray paint.

I fear you are out of luck. The laundry soap won't bring color that's gone back, especially to this extreme. When it fades out, it's gone. You may as well try something, right? It's no good as it is. Spray it and see what happens. It's gonna stink, though.

Spray paint it and start saving up for a Double Bull Matrix 360!

SPRAY IT AND IT WILL BE FINE AS LONG AS YOU USE GOOD COLORS.

before you go about rattle canning your blind you might try this trick I use to revive faded camo clothing. it wont revive the camo back to original but will darken the faded colors enough to make the camo useable.

take the fabric skin of the blind and wash in cold water with no detergent but add some black fabric dye but not too much maybe one or two dye tablets. then rinse twice with cold water allow it to dry completely. if its not darkened enough for ya repeat the treatment untill its darkened enough. good luck

Get you a Double Bull Blind, and the fading, shining, non-performing blinds will be a thing of the past.

Deer dont see color anyway so what difference does it make. Id say keep on using it, make sure you balend it in with some goood cover in a nice shady spot.
