Default Interior color

Not sure if anyone can help out with this, but here is the issue...

Some parts of my interior are either severely damaged (steering wheel is very worn on one side) and my centre console is severely faded on one side. The interior color is "cashmere". Is there anywhere I could buy the dye for this without having to send in a sample to have it color matched? I can't exactly just cut out a piece of leather from somewhere... Haha
Any help would be really appreciated.

And I do not care if it is in an aerosol can or if I have to airbrush it.

I don't know if there is a vendor with an exact match per color code, but if you go to a pro paint store they usually have SEM vinyl/leather coloring products that have a variety of close colors, and may even be able to factory match for a price.

I finally found "GM Black" in SEM was a very close match to the "Warm Charcoal" of the Jaguar interior, but it took a lot of trial and error.

I'm not a huge fan of the SEM can, my grandfather used it on his 2001 Chrysler Sebring (the blue turd). Made a huge mess of the interior. Do you know if I could get it in a bottle and air brush it on?

I found a place online that it's about $12 a can plus shipping. My grandfather was paying $36.00 a can at a local upholstery shop.

+1 on this recommendation.
It comes with 2 smaller bottles for adjustment, but did not need them for my Ivory restore, perfect match!
