I wonder what is the real color of leather, I see all kinds of colors in leather sofas, and I wonder if there is any way one can re color a leather sofa without damaging the sofa itself, I mean that, it would come out looking great. Well do you spray it, use a pint brush, what could one do??
Dyeing Leather Couch Another Color
I wouldnt do that if i were you
Do not try to do it yourself. Ask an Upholstry shop to do it.
What colour is your flooring curtains? no matter if it is laminate flooring then cream is going with something yet for my area I timber opt for red cushions, for sure once you've a colored carpet then opt for cushions an identical or similar colour to the carpet.
You MIGHT, but trust me, you don't want to. Leather dyes are toxic, toxic, toxic. Did I mention they were highly toxic? You would need to get a good-quality commercial dye, remove the sofa to a separate, but well ventilated area, get yourself some expensive respiratory equipment, and at least 5 gallons of very, very, very expensive dye. Did I mention that leather dye is very expensive? Leathers are vat dyed, and hand-dying would probably leave a lot of streaks and uneven spots. And depending upon the finish, much of the leather just might not take the stain. You would wipe the stain on with a soft cloth wearing serious (blue) gloves. And, I'm not sure the exact date (it might have already passed), the EPA demanded changes in leather dyes, and yes they are less toxic...but the colors aren't as fast, they rub off, bleed, spills show up, and if your legs are sweaty, you'll pick up the dye, it will absorb into the skin (your skin is leather that hasn't been tanned yet), and leave marks on your sofa. There used to be a spray on the market, but it never really soaked in, just lay on top, dried out the leather, cracked, flaked, and generally was only good if no one was actually going to use the leather. Just because there are leather shoe dyes out there (whole different animal, so to speak), don't think this can be translated to a leather sofa. If it sounds like I am trying to dissuade you from it, well, that's because I am. May I suggest a colorful throw, instead? To answer your question about the color of leather, that depends upon the animal, the area the skin is taken, and how the leather is split. Natural leather ranges from a pale cream/buff to a light coffee.
