I dyed some head & wrist sweat bands yellow with some Rit dye, so I could be Paullie Bleeker for Halloween one year.
I know it's not exactly on the scale of a seat cover, but the directions for washing machine dying were simple enough, and the results were great. Colors didn't bleed at all.

Or you could use fabric paint.
Here's an article that might help you - https://itstillruns.com/dye-car-seat-covers-5860108.html
Do you know that you can paint fabric? There are websites online that tell you how, I am going to try it on some chairs I have.
I have heard it from other people but don’t quite understand how it works. What will you be painting with fabric paint?
