Default Touch up dye for interior leather and vinyl

I have a couple of repaired areas in the leather seats and vinyl door panel of my 07 GS. They are basically black where the interior is actually a dark gray. Can I get a simple spray on or daub on paint/dye that looks more like the rest of the interior? Would that maybe be from a body shop supplier? Thanks for any responses.

Auto body shop supply is a good source they can custom match or get SEM Classic Coat if the colour is close enough.

Thanks for the response. I went to a body shop supply place. The spray bombs they have of high quality vinyl paints are in limited color range. The 07 Lexus had black seats with a very dark gray textured door panel and smooth black plastic trim so three distinct colors. The leather drivers seat pad I am replacing for $175 from a wrecker off of E-bay. The black plastic trim was easy enough to get close a close match to but the dark gray Lexus door panel will require a body shop to repaint I guess, unless I replace the whole door panel. Mine is the pebbled vinyl type and not the one with the leather pad so the part wont be much but I am sure the r and r time will be significantly more than the repaint amount.

Try http://www.leatherrenew.com/ I used their paint/dye on my parchment seats and it worked perfectly. Maybe they have something for your door panels. See this thread

Thanks for the link. I was actually able to find a used panel for $85 off of E-bay but I may look for a dye to touch up the other surfaces.
