Making new strings look old

Does anyone have suggestions how to "pre-age" a new copper-wound bass
string? I have a customer with an antique grand that needs a new string,
which I already  ordered and received. I want to make it look dark and
dirty so it won't stick out like a sore thumb when compared with its
neighbors. Any suggestions?
