Need help on interior color dye name

Hey guys, I’m trying to restore my 2012 GL450’s leather steering wheel and can’t find the correct paint color to dye it with. I bought the Dark Savanna Cashmere from seat doctors hoping it would match, since the main color is cashmere beige, but it’s way too bright compared to the center part of the steering wheel and the dashboard. I was hoping someone would know the exact color name or code of the steering wheel.



I applied some of the dark savanna cashmere dye I bought and you can see on the outer edge of the wheel how bright it is compared to the horn/airbag part of the wheel

After I removed the dye I applied, looks worse then before rn 🫠 (I thought it would darken after it dried down so I applied a little more)
