Put a material dye and you can do it in the washing machine with a load of salt

What is the net made of Nylon or Spun polyester? They need diffent dyes.

If you weigh the net you will know how much dye to buy 1 pack does 2.5Kilos.

Last year I dyed my old hemp nets, with a Dylon bright red, they didn't turn out as red as i wanted, more a maroon.

But they are okay, and you can see them better than the straw coloured hemp.

Personally I would go for the Drab Olive or Karki. Have a look at the soil colour where you are going to use them and try and match that.
