So i just got those pants and i need them all black..

what would be the better solution to get them all black ?

i tried a black sharpie on the bibs pocket (so nobody can see it if it fail) but do you think that if i do this with all the pockets, it could make some stain on my other clothes or make stain on my skin ?

Maybe spraypait or rit-dye ? i have a rit-dye black pack left..

Depends how much you care about how you look, honestly the worst thing that can happen is they will turn some weird grey colour.

if it's really ugly, i will just sew the 2 part of the pocket in one..

but i want to know if you think that with the water and snow, the sharpie will get out and it will be white/grey again.

Do it with rit dye. That shit will dye anything!

rit dye doesn't seem to work all that well on ski gear because most of it is waterproof so the dye has no way of permeating the material.  i tried to dye a white jacket once and instead of getting the full color i wanted it just turned a gray tint.  not saying it won't work for you, it couldn't hurt to try.
