Re:

I have just done a black saddle that had scuffs with shoe dye. It dries and can be sanded down it is so tough it won't rubb off.

You can get it in yellow...link to a brand that has three different yellow shades

Test it out on the underside first :roll:

Who is wearing yellow shoes?

Re:

I have been using Neatsfoot oil on my 30 year old black turbo saddle. It soaks it up and stops the leather drying out.
I am not sure what it would be like on a yellow saddle though.

Re:

I use Brooks Proofide on all my leather saddles, seems to do the trick.

You could try repainting the saddle with leather paint available for cars. Unsure though to how it would stand up to for cycling and sweat

I wanted a yellow leather saddle for my Graham Weigh but all the yellow ones I saw were the same sort of condition as your saddle so I eventually found a fabric black and yellow Selle San Marco EDS which I have fitted now
