Personally, I would learn to love them. You may try placing a table runner of some interest (like, maybe bamboo) along the counter to take your eye away from the actual counter top. Of course that would have to be removed if/when you are going to use the space to work on.

I have seen products that are used to camouflage worn out formica, where paint chips are sprinkled and then sealed with clear epoxy, but you would have to rough up the corian surface quite a bit for it to grab. That would be a huge preparation in itself, needing a ventilator mask and some industrial sanding equipment. The products are not durable for working on.... they're just a visual.... and there is a very limited color palette to choose from. (if they still even make the stuff)

If you are determined, maybe the epoxy product used to resurface worn bath tubs would work. That must be professionally applied and cured, however. Not a DYI project. I had it done on a 90 year old bathtub, and also changed the color of the wall tile in the kitchen of that same house. A friend bought the house from me and both projects are sound to this day. (20 years later)
