It's almost white 🤔
Can anyone give me a colour match from a company that sells LEATHER DYE ( not Paint ) I've been told Dove Grey, Cream Beige, and various others that don't seem to match

If you're looking for a specific dye colour, it's best to try to match it with a pantone colour.

https://www.pantone.com/uk/en/connect

Make several pictures, with chancing light settings, pick the colour from a picture and have a look where you end up. If that's not a satisfying colour, try again with another picture/light setting.

Basically all colours in the industry are done with coding, those names you mention are fabrications thought up for consumer end purposes.

It can be quite the pickle trying to find the right colour, good luck
