A lot of larger online retailers that sell brake levers will often
have replacement hoods for them, if they're available. For instance,
here jenson has replacement hoods for the shorter pull cane creek aero
levers (which will also work on the tektro R200), in both black and
gum:

Thanks, folks!
I've e-mailed the "Hudz" folks (the makers of the hoods used in the
build referenced in Eric's link) to discover what they know about
compatibility between any of their offerings and the two drop-bar
linear-pull brake levers of which I'm aware (Tektro RL-520 and Dia-
Compe V-287). (
Gum-colored hoods are made for Ergo levers:

You can probably also find them for your Tektros.

This may be a little off topic and a bad idea - but I was considering
spraying mine using vinyl upholstery paint.
Can't make them gum colored exactly but there are some options that
come close - wear may be a factor.
Otherwise I wouldn't be shocked if the hoods from other brands could
be swapped
