Fiebing's Leather Colors™

Fiebing's Leather Colors are water-based, low-VOC penetrating dyes designed for natural vegetable-tanned tooling leather. They provide rich, even color for solid dyeing, background work, floral designs, figure carving, and pictorial coloring by penetrating deep into the leather fibers for long-lasting results. The easy-to-use formula can be applied with a slightly damp sponge, layered for deeper color, or thinned with water for lighter shades, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced leatherworkers. Cleanup is simple with soap and water. For use on vegetable-tanned leather only; do not use on suede.  Note: 32 fl. oz. size is only available in Coal Black. *Packaging may vary, but the formulation is the same.
