It probably depends on the type and treatment of the material. Leather Honey did not darken our brown leather couch & ottoman.

It will temporarily darken some areas of the leather. I had some medium brown boots and it darkened some areas that were more worn. I actually liked the effect as it made the leather look richer and less ashy.

Usually that is the case with most oils. I have not used it on my greys. LEXOL makes a product specifically for NON_DARKENING. I do use LEXOL NEATSFOOT for NON-DARKENING on my light colored leathers. They have a 33 oz size here at a great price.As a chemiist I would only use a product formulated with NON-DARKENING properties on light colored leathers. Lexol Neatsfoot Leather Dressing.

My leather was dark brown. I read some of the testimonials and saw some comments about it not having a good effect on light leather. You might want to read the testimonials on honeyleather.com.

Wife had some brown western boots- the color stayed about the same. I also had some light grey western boots-they stayed the same.

I have used it on all of my fabric shoes. Suede, cloth, brushed leather etc. I have done really light coats and very heavy coats. It does darken them while they are wet, but as they dry they seem to be revert back to very close to their original color.

I used the liquid Obermauf on a 40 year old (non-suede) leather sofa and chair and was very pleased. I use it on boots, car seats, and other leathers too. I assume it will darken the leather so I'd consider that if just doing the arms.

No it will not darken leather. I've used Bick's products for over 20 years, they are superior!

I've only used it on dark brown, navy and black. I have an Italian red leather bag which has faded throughout the years. I hope to use it on the bag, but have not yet allocated the time. If I attempt this task within a fortnight I'll let you know the results.

I have used the product on leather that was very light but not actually white; it worked great. The real key is that it was a SMOOTH finish, as opposed to a leather that had any nap or "tooth". The more of the Leather Milk is absorbed into the leather, the more likely any discoloration of very light leather, in my opinion. I would advise trying it on a small area as a test first.

Sorry, I only tried it on work boots and it was wonderful. It will darken the leather if that helps. I used it on a old belt then shined it with polish and it did fantastic on that.

I don't know. Sounds like the leather was untreated for awhile. This is basically a protectant and it does make the product shine and cleans it. Might want to ask a dealer if this restores leather to original color. Good luck

No, when it is first applied the leather will darken, but will return to the original color after 24 hours once it dries completely

Test it first. If you use a lot, it will darken the leather but it seems to return to the original color in a few days.

No they will not make leather shiny. Very nice, non oily A's I use for all my non suede leather shoes, boots, jackets. It will not darken your leather.

did not noticibly darken any of the boots we used it on. One pair was a camel tan similar to original timberland boot color. After it dried couldn't tell the difference. Yes would work be sure to use a couple coats

My leather seats are a light grey and they did not darken after I used the product. I found it to just clean them up and that made them brighter.

I used it on colored leather sofa(cream) and it worked great. It isn't as strong of a cleaner as I would have liked, but it did not affect the color. If you use it on a nice leather handbag you may want to condition after. My wife had a "coach", leather cleaner + conditioner was reccomended

I have only used it on medium and dark leathers (table insert and couch) and have been happy with it. It does go on wet(looks dark) but dries clear/back to normal color.Its a very good product - I have search for others and have not been as happy with anything!

I've used this product on light tan leather and black leather and loved the results both times. It should work well for green as well. The liquid cleaner is clear and the conditioner is a tan color but drys clear as well.

It will soften the leather ! I use it once a week to keep looking new and soft!
