Just after you cover it in fondant get some petal dusts in brown and black lightly dust the ball with a small fluffy brush… be careful to tap most of the dust off of it first. Then when your done give it a quick steam to set the color a bit…it will darken a bit after steaming. Hope that helps. Good Luck! =)
