Aniline

In most scenarios you can select a close color from our Aniline Color Chart and control the shade of the color by the amount of coats. You can also mail us a sample for a precise match. Download form here.

Pigmented

Most leathers are considered pigmented or top coated leathers. You can send a sample for color matching or you can use the Leather World's Color Adjusting Kit to adjust a standard Dye Colorant. The Color Adjusting Kit includes 5 primary pigments that you can use to color match. The kit includes detailed instructions to make adjustments simple and easy. The following options are explained below for you to determine which route is most convenient.

Sending a Sample

Step 1. Obtaining a sample (2x2)

• Option A: Send a swatch.

Swatches can be obtained from hidden, under the cushion or a detachable piece.

• Option B: Send a Paint Chip

Paint chips can be obtained from your local paint store. The paint chip should be an accurate representation of the color you need for the leather.

Step 2. Fill out the form

Step 3: Send the form and sample

We cannot match two-tone or multi-colored pigmented leathers. We need a minimum of a 2x2 inch swatch for color matching. Please be aware the sample you send us may not be the same as the piece you are repairing due to fading and wear. We cannot match to email pictures or photos.
