I'll wager that is black. I'm nearly positive. Flash photography is a tricky thing as the light coming out of the flash is BRIGHT and instant. A flash was definitely used here as obvious from the reflection off the edge of the steering wheel. Leather is a semi reflective surface so a lot of that flashed light is thrown back at the camera which tried to make it's best guess as to what that color is through white balance. I know all that sounds kind of technical, but these photos are obviously just snap shots and not pro shots. Keep that in mind.
Cool thanks to you, too. Wow, I never thought it could make that big of a defference. It makes sense though, by the way you explained it. And I don't feel as stupid asking as I thought I might.
