Check with a local upholstery shop, you may be able to purchase a dye kit.

Corvette America, Wilcox Corvette and others offer spray dye to match the original color. I went to a local paint/glass store and they made me a quart of dye to match. I touched up all the trim/carpet that had faded. I will tell you though, the carpet isn't as soft after you spray it. Not that it's very soft to begin with. Here's a trick if you're interested, dye something that normally is black. Like a console lid or something. Gives it a personal touch.
