I had a pair of brand new dark blue Levi's jeans when I got my brand new '99 E46 320i with beige seats.
The seats did get blueish in a few months. Levi's did paid for the cleaning!

Now I got a F10 with beige int. and also a new pair of dark blue Levi's pants.
Now the jeans got a warning sign for that and I haven't used them yet!

After two or three washes even the dark blue pants are OK, even for light color seats.

I wouldn't count on that.
I had a pair of blue jeans (actually a pair of Levi's that I bought in San Francisco) that never stopped "bleeding".
Washing them over and over didn't help... Eventually I had to throw them away because of that.
