Default Cleaning fabric dye from leather seat?

The seat of my black damp this morning from sitting on the porch. I didn't think anything of it, and took my GT to run errands. I just noticed that some of the fabric dye has slightly discolored the tan leather driver's seat.

Is there anything that will remove the dye? Saddle soap? Time? My car is like new, and I'm really fanatical about keeping it that way.

Thanks for any replies.

I found an answer on Google. Actually, I found several. Water with a little vinegar, water with a little dish soap, balled up piece of bread, and other methods. I used the dish soap, and the dye came out easily.

The fact that the fabric dye came off the pants so easily meant that it was readily soluble in water, which also meant that removing it would be easy.
