    I think that you will have to try and get more of the black out of the leather before doing anything else to it. Un-dyed leather or leather that has had the colour removed is "supposed" to be a light fawn colour.

    Personally I only use acrylic based leather dyes, mostly for dying wood.

    Exactly, paint soaks into things, think of painting plywood. It'll be flat brown after, or whatever color it started before paint. Then dye to taste.
