Try some red dye?

TBH, red is a colour that fades. I have a nice pinkish car now, LOL.

I know the pinkish colour mines is going the same someone told me that dye not great cause you have to wash the excess dye of which is hard to do on seats it good on fabric that you can hand wash I heard you get upholstery spray paint which is suppose to be better as it dries into the seats

Always do fade and go pink due to sunlight bleaching them. Get them dyed properly and will be fine

Red shoe dye? That dries properly, doesn't come off. I once did the vinyl parts of a blue interior on a MkI Escort into black using it, worked a treat.
