Default remove paint stain from leather seat

Hello everyone!

Friend and I painted his house the other day. We went to get lunch and he had some paint on his shorts so I ended up with a small paint splatter on the leather seat on the passenger side.
I figured I'd ask here what the best way is to get rid of paint without damaging the leather or leather coloring.
Was hesitant to use anything like alcohol or nail polish remover etc. on it.

Any input is very much appreciated. Sucks too, because usually I'm so careful and always tell people to put down a towel etc. to protect the seats but that day I guess I wasn't careful enough!

Thanks for all suggestions!

Nick

I would attempt to use warm water on a microfiber towel at first but don't rub too aggressively.

Second option, rubbing alcohol on a microfiber towel. Blot at first.

Last option, re-dye (aka sanding and repainting) the leather.

This suggestion is coming from a prior auto detailing business owner of 15 years. Hope this helps.
