Sofa cushion cleaning went too well

Help!!! I chucked the heavily stained “no stains/great condition” cushions from a sofa I bought from FB marketplace in the washer with some detergent and oxyclean...they came out amazingly. However, they are now noticeably brighter/whiter than the remaining upholstery (which I have treated x3 times now with upholstery machine containing the same solution as the washer had, plus other solutions”). What should I do?!? It’s the Gower from DFS so arms are fully visible as is base and backrest. Kicking myself as there is no way it can stay like this. I’ve also tried 6% hydrogen peroxide on the non-removable elements to lighten but to no avail.

I’d get an upholstery cleaner in to do the rest, and then do that in future. you shouldn’t have washed the cushions, it damages the fire retardant guard,
