Leather seat color change?

Hey. Didn't know where to post this one so I'll put it here. I had an 04 screw which was stolen and stripped so now I'm looking for another one. I had a black leather interior and one of the one's I'm looking at has a beige leather interior. I noticed it has a slight green tinge to the front seats. Is this common with the tan leather and is it from the seat heaters? Anyone know if the leather can be recolored....dyed or something?

That's really weird... I don't have heat seaters, OR a green tinge to my tan leather.

I've used spray dye on quite a few vinyl seats with good results. Couple weeks ago I scratched off some of my Grey leather dye on one seat. I found that SEM makes some exact matches for the seats but the parts store did not have the number I needed at the time so I eye-balled and went with a Med. Grey Sem spray dye. Did three or four light coats, misting across the bad spot, and it blended near perfect. I do not see why you could not get the original color dye and just respray the seats. But I don't know why the seats would have deteriorated already on an '04.
