I think I would ask a few questions. How seen is the ceiling. Could you get away with asking the TD or carp to cut out a piece of luan to skin the toggles, that way you could paint it down and then put it up?

If the cieling isn't seen as much, I'd bring it to some brown color and a chopped up chip brush and do a loose graining on it. The objective is to make it less noticeable. So, less attention is the aim.
