    From the 2006 Tundra brochure I found in line , there is only one tan like color in 2006 as far as leather . It is called Taupe. I ordered some taupe dye that suppose to match but it looks a bit more like a bad makeup job . Even in the bottle it looks a bit different which I figured was ok being it has to dry and will change , then, I looked on their web site and saw a demo of a guy touching up a seat and the dye in liquid form looked exactly like the seat color . Even when he applied it , it was hard to see any difference before drying. If anyone on here has taupe leather and also possibly have the color code please let me know . Thanks

    Update I failed to mention that the exterior is desert tan mica. I believe this exterior color was popular with the taupe interior .

    Yes I will later when I get home . I found another place in Houston TX that has both driver and pass front bottom and top in supposedly factory color and also is true leather except the lower sides just like the factory covers. I ordered the drivers bottom because mine is torn pretty bad but the rest of mine are good enough to re dye . Also I talked to a man at autoleatherdye in Virginia where I got the dye from and he said I could return the dye I got, send a small patch from some where on the seats and he would match it. I will send the best looking area from drivers bottom I have now since I ordered a new cover .

    It was usautonation.com ph# 832-790-4949. They sell on ebay but their web site don't list toyota so I called and they sell front only both top and bottom and told me they would do my back if I sent it to them .I asked about dye but they dont sell it . As far as leather , not sure. autoleatherdye.com sells dye. I ordered some and it was wrong , talked to a guy there and he said to send a small piece and he would match it for no extra charge.
