Hi, Gail. brass darkening solution ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] will turn brass a dark antique color. liver of sulfur ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] will turn silver blackish.

You can't make silver into a "yellow" metal, because it is a "white" metal, but you could consider applying a Rub n Buff ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] . Good luck with it.
