You'll probably always see a different texture, but you could try buying leather dye. We have a leather store here in town that caters to shoe repair shops. I've bought leather dye and finish, etc. You could also ask a shoe repair person. Some of them know how to fix all kinds of leather problems. (Usually horse shows have a leather repair person close by.) In the end, you'll probably just get used to it. Still doesn't excuse Pottery Barn's indifference. How To Fix Leather on Ottoman?
