Use a good cleaner like “Swissvax leather cleaner”

Stay away from cheap low quality cleaners.

I'm referring about the color, maybe someone already did a test run.

Leather is leather bro. There are literally thousands of guides and videos showing you how to clean leather. I suggest you start with YouTube.

Colourlock mild leather cleaner. Stuff works great and doesn’t remove any leather color or finish. I used it to remove blue jeans transfer and also smudges from my black dress belt.

Thanks but I'm not just referring to cleaning leather! I realize there's thousands of guides I never had Orange interior and don't want to damage the color.

If it's not leather, personally I use this.

For leather any of the recommendations above will work with a leather brush. Chances of you damaging the color is near impossible IMO.
