If the teeth are RCT treated there are chances of discolouration over the time period..in such cases you can opt for zirconia crowns as it is opaque.
Emax crown again will show the discolouration if teeth colour changes
Next Steps
Visit a dental clinic with Prosthodontist, they can guide you better with the esthetic concern

Hello mam ! For your present condition we can go for a holistic approach where we see the status of the root canal of the teeth and if they are good , we can go ahead with replacing the PFM crowns with high Esthetic zirconia or eMax crowns !! If the root canal status if not good and needs attention we can do the crowns after the root canals are treated and bacteria free !!!
