Interior Leather Discoloration

Hey all,

Any of you see issues with the interior leather when it gets wet? Today was the first day of rain with my new truck and I was surprised at the initial discoloration of the "agate" black leather on the left arm rest. It is the only place that got wet while entering/exiting the vehicle.
I've never seen a decent/quality leather go from black to an almost blue when getting wet. After it dried, it looks to have gone back to the normal color. The dye in the leather? Chemicals they (dealer/factory) used to clean/preserve it?

I am assuming that the material on the left armrest is leather. It may be faux or whatever - but still surprised to see the color change.

I had the same issues with my 14' f150. I'm assuming your door panels are also black/ silver. If I use a armor all type interior cleaner on my dash and doors they will kinda white spot if they get wet. I keep a detailing towel in the truck I case it rains and I need to wipe off the door or console. Same with the black leather seats.
