John510, thanks! Would you believe me if I said it took about 20 mins for all of it? That's it. 
Of course it took me a few hours to buy blue markers, test, buy new ones, test, repeat... until I found the right one. Anyone can benefit from this post to save on experimenting time and some cost if they like my color by buying this marker.

Thanks! Love the USB and so I wanted to bring some "USB-like" touches inside in the all-black interior...
Yeah, steady hand is all you need. Plus the marker's tip is fine enough to not screw up and the nice thing is the stitching is so porous that the moment the marker hits the stitch, you see the ink spreading and getting soaked into the stitch. So you don't fully have to go to the corners and risk touching the leather. The couple times I did, no biggie, it hardly shows and if you rub hard enough and quickly enough, it comes off the leather but not in the stitch (it's soaked in).
Not as hard as it looks, really!

You should continue this project, into a small shop that sells the correct markers for the correct colors
I'm sure many people here would pay stupid money for the marker that gives their seams the correct color when it comes to their car.
Both red, blue, silver, dark rose red and parchment would probably be very popular
If I can find the correct color, I might do mine to.

The stitching color was a very light grey/white. You see the original color of stitching in the seat I didn't touch in one of the pics I posted.
