fixing leather seats

I found hair line scratch mark on my passenger seat last week. It's smooth so there's no oportunity for its to widen. and no one would really see it except me when I'm driving alone. I would love to know if there's something I can use to filling or patch up the different color? check out the pictures.

Sh|t like that happens with leather - - it comes with the territory. I've got one or two marks like that one my driver's seat. I try not to look at it

I've seen the pro re-conditioning guys take care of stuff like that with a little sanding and then airbrushing the appropriate dye over the repair area. Done well, you'd never know a repair was made.
