Experience with vinyl dye? - Beyond Tiki

I just bought a house (whoa!), and it has a built-in wet bar in the basement (double whoa!), and this bar has some snazzy vinyl upholstery. Downside of the snazzy upholstery: it's off-white. This will not do! I'm hoping to dye it a deep olive green, a la golden-era Trader Vic's restaurants. My research so far is pointing me to spray vinyl dye found at automotive shops. Has anyone used this stuff before? And also: the bar area has off-white tile all over the place. Don't suppose there's a dye that will work well (or even shoddily -- it is a tiki bar, after all) on tile?
