Put on the first coat of leather dye lightly. It will dry very fast. Use additional coats as required.
If the color gets too dark, it can be lighted with #0000 steel wool.
This is where I'm at as of this writing. We'll wait a while, and see what it looks like after sitting. It might already be a bit dark, but its definitely an improvement over what it looked like before.
