You can dip the new bolts in phosporic acid (Ospho or concrete prep) to dull the bright finish and make them a little less obvious among the old bolts. It may remove any rust preventive plating.

I've also found that after the phosphoric acid, you can brush them with a brass brush to give them a little bit of yellow cad look.

Thanks for spending time on the little things to keep the project original looking.
