Did that before I bought it.
That's where I got 225a from.
It is porcelain, just double checked.
Thought I was going mad.

UPDATE:

I just received a bottle of Leather All In One Colourant Dye Touch Up Repair from The Leather Colour Doctor ("Nappa Porcelain" colour) and did the bolster. WOW, it's brilliant! Pics of Before, After treatment with "Porcelain" colour dye and After treatment with "Nappa Porcelain" colour dye.

Looks good, let us know in six months time how it is looking, hopefully you may have found the fix.
I have a large bottle of the dye, so I can always redo if/when necessary. :)

Just got my list from the dealer. Mine states two codes:
815A LEATHER/NAPPA/SEMI-ANILINE - BEIGE
800A LEATHER/NAPPA/SEMI-ANILINE

It looks very similar to the colours in the photos here.

815 is the code for my seats. The dye I've used should be the same for yours I think
