Leather Dye recommendations

Sent an email to Leatherique, no response. I do not see my color interior for my seats on their site.

Now where I grew up I call the interior black and brown (seats and center of doors).
BMW calls it Leder Dakota/trueffelbraun - LCTE. I will take a stab and equate trueffelbraun with truffle brown.

Can anyone recommend a place?

Thanks

Mail Leatherique a 2x2 sample cut it out of the bottom of the seat where you can't see and have them match it for you. They are the best hands down.

Pearl -

Have you considered have a upholstery guy do it.
Between the age of the vehicle, coloration of rear seats.

Recently had my front DS seat replaced. Also had the center rewrapped.
Passenger Side Outer Bolster Releathered.
Had them spray the entire front so it would match/blend with the rear so it was consistent.

I used Scuffmaster dye by liquid leather on my E39 M5. https://www.liquidleather.com/scuffm...033829141.html

Had them custom match my black. However, they have standard colors that you can darken or lighten.
