In any case, I'd really like to wear these, but not while their color is
mismatched. So, I need a way to either lighten one, or darken the other, or
color them both to match. They don't take shoe polish, and I doubt they'd
take leather dye...

Well-stocked automobile supply stores at least used to carry specialized
spray paint intended for  changing the color of vinyl car seats, so,
designed to stick to faux leather from the get go.  The range of colors was
typically limited, but I would expect that brown would be one of the
possible options.  I'm guessing that online auto-supply specialists may be
your best bet now.

Wow! I never would have thought of that, and it sounds right on target. Right now I'm trying to fade one in the back yard, but if I don't see a change over a few days, I'll start looking for this pain.
