Pairing Fiebings Dye And Antique

[ValleyEquine]

I'm working on fixing up an old leather saddle. It was in need of several structural and cosmetic improvements. I've stripped previous finish/dye off the leather, and I'm soon ready to redo it. Since I haven't been able to strip the leather to 100% uniform color, my plan is to use Fiebings professional oil dye to get a nice, even color, and then to use Fiebings antique finish to bring out the floral tooling.

Does anyone have recommendations (or examples!) for dye and antique colors that work nicely together?

My leather is a darker than natural veg tan, but its a lighter than the Wicket and Craig brown skirting sample I have. Since I've read here about some people having lighter colored dye turn out super dark (recommendation seems to be to dilute dye), I thought maybe I'd start with "Saddle Tan" or "Light Brown", since I can always go darker.

Or, would those two colors not go well onto already light brown leather?

For the antique, I'm not sure what color to go with. Would I be better off waiting to pick until I have the leather dyed to see what it looks like?
