Reply to "Changing leather color"

Let me clarify. Each piece of leather is nicely consistent over its entire surface, but they were obviously not all from some same batch of dye. Some are the dark tan (kinda caramel) that I like, while other panels are lighter, and a couple have a bit of a greenish tint. It's most noticeable on the doors where the panel is made from several pieces sewn together. I have a large piece that would be sufficient to redo the whole dash, but that would still leave a few panels. I can certainly live with it, but if perfection is attainable for reasonable effort, why not go for it?

The two attached photos show some of what I'm talking about, particularly on the passenger's side door. Also, look at the color difference between the dash and the shift boot. That's not an artifact of the photo - it's really that much different.
