Door panels turned blue?

So, for some reason my dumb a** left my passenger side window open last night, and it rained this morning and the inside got a little wet. Not really a big deal, only somehow my door panels is now blue in some places. It's a black leather interior. My seat did get wet too, but it's still black. Anyone ever have this before?

Probably because of your passenger's crusty ass hand residue caked onto the door panel from years of usage. When acid rain mixes with all that crustiness, it turns smurfin' blue.

Lmao, I guess that could be it. I thought maybe it was fading the dye they used for the leather. Acid rain is actually a big problem where I live, too. Once it dried, it turned back to black. I was hunting on eBay for a new panel as soon as I saw that so I'm happy...
