Go light on color. Easy to get it WAY too dark on the first pass. Darken with a second coat if needed.

Fiebing's leather dye is available at a lot of shoe stores and comes in a variety of colors. I don't know about green.

If you don't want to mess it up. I'd suggest leaving it alone. Dying leather takes a little practice, to get even application and color.

I agree with arrow makin' Bob. Its a touchy, feely game when dying leather. Portions of it will take more than others and then you start battling evenness and before you know it that section is so dark green its almost black.

Getting an even dye job also depends on how clean that leather is. I can see in your picture the tan looks like it’s a little dirty? No offense. Any kind of leather preservatives also need to be cleaned off.

You could disassemble it, dye it and resew it. I would do it cause I have all the tools on hand but you probably don't.
Just about any method is going to risk messing up a nice quiver.

There is a gel stain I buy at menards. Comes in a tube like tooth paste. I’ve used it on arrows, leather, cardboard. I wipe it on, wipe it off untill I get the right amount light or dark. Easy to use.

Just make sure the leather is clean. The other thing you can do is to buy some clear leather finish, apply, let it dry, then put the stain or color over that so it’ll be an even Emerald Green. I’ve done that on wood that doesn’t stain evenly.

It can have finger print oil on it from when it was made. You’ll still want to give it a wipe.

Ronnie You might try getting a thin piece of green leather and glue it over the brown piece with leather glue. Dying is a hit and miss proposition as stated above. There is also a spray can leather dye that works pretty well also.
