Yep it can be done fairly easy with a leather colourant kit from the furniture clinic.

I was reading this as you have seen a set of Black leathers cheap and want to remove the Cream leathers ?????  Easy to do depending on the car. Door cards are easy enough to change, rear seats easy to change, front seats are easy and while the seats are out the carpet will also change easily. Probably a few hours work with a tea break.
