You might still have a lot of orange, but stripes and swirls and dots could be really interesting! Clean the fins with rubbing alcohol before starting. Alcohol will remove permanent marker from lots of surfaces, so if you draw on it and wipe it off with alcohol, and the stain remains, you've found your coloring solution!
Sharpies are a good idea, and some kinds of paint markers would also work well. Look for something that has a liquid inside that needs to be shaken up. They'll be more opaque than sharpies, and while they don't last forever they can have a pretty good run if you don't scuff them too much.

You can also dye certain kinds of rubber and plastic, like in this tutorial:

But that's a bit more intensive and with orange your colours would be pretty limited. You could get a range of reds, browns and black and that's about it. But hey, black with metallic designs done in paint markers would be pretty cool.
