Help With Determining Dye Color

[uscglechief]

A co-worker of mine asked if I could repair his leather bag, I agreed but cautioned him that the color of my repair would most likely not match. He is okay with, what I'm sure will be a mis-match.

I am looking for some help in determining the color and best way to apply...tan's seem to give me trouble and was thinking of spraying verse sponge or shearling.

I've attached a photo of the bag below. Any advice/help is always appreciated!

Sorry for second post, I was thinking British Tan but not so sure now.

maybe a mahogany lightened up with some tan?? I have a lot of troubles with that middle spectrum of the browns. You could also try testing by starting with some lighter brown and gradually adding red in.
