Interesting to receive the correct leather color for Savanna Biege and find it noticibily lighter than the SB leather in my 02 996. This color Leather's ageing and un-detected darkening changes the value of the color significantly. So now it's time to learn more about ageing or adjusting the color of the new material. Here is where the black leathers stand tall. Not so for lighter colors.
This thread hasn't attracted much attention at all which tells me this isn't a big issue to most owners. However it is, or has to be, fixable.
Any accomplished leather heads out there? Going back to the upholstery shop may be an option but might be necessary if there are direct fixes. Once again, Porsche is no help at all. This color code they provide today doesn't match the original color very well at all.
