Wow, and all this time I thought I had nephrite! Thanks, Al, you saved me a few bucks as I ordered nephrite green dye from the U.K. Hopefully I'll be able to change the order. By the way I looked everywhere around the NET and could not fine anywhere that described what the PX code means.
I'll now have to change my signature...

Yes, his is paint to sample so not Artic.
Stew, under the hood on the firewall, behind the driver's side headlight, the is a small silver sticker which gives the actual color. If you take a picture we can de-code it for you.
It is probably reads SilberMetallic and the paint code numbers.

The best thing to do is just get the entire seat recovered. I had similar wear on the bolster. Although that piece of leather can be replaced, it won't match the rest and will cost 75% of doing the whole seat. Look on the internet for a good vehicle upholsterer in your area.
you will be happier in the long run. I had the same problem with mine and I redid mine. You do know that upholsterers love things like cookies to help them keep their mind focused on your car.
