I have looked but need help decoding the color and other details
I never managed to match paint using codes, so when I take on a project that needs small repairs I go to one of the many local automotive paint shops with a panel piece, usually the gas cap lid, and they match it in store.
I also found that some of them sell leather and vinyl paint and dyes, just get the head rest or any removable part and have them mix it based on that. Used them a few times in different cars and materials already, all matched perfectly.
Clean the surface with a light mix of dawn and water, one drop per quart should be enough, and prep with some Bulldog adhesion promoter or similar. Let the adhesion promoter dry completely before paint. You can get a small paint gun for a few $. If you don’t have a compressor, they also sell a kit that uses little gas bottles, but it’s a pain to use. Just get a compressor, you’ll need it again for other projects anyway. Much easier to cleanup if you get the seat/panel off the car, that way you won’t have to clean overspray from everything else.
