Overnight should be long enough.

My car is black with light gray interior (gray stitching) red calipers. I'd like to do this easy mod.
1. What color for the stitching Red or Black?
2. Anybody do a light gray interior? Will the color wipe off the light gray interior?

FYI, for those wanting to do the white stitching of their Adrenalin Red interior. I bought a couple different brands, Sharpie, etc. But, the Marvy red fabric marker was the closest match. Sorry I don't have any pics, but it passed the toughest test of all. The wife liked it.....
I did two passes, and let it sit over night. The steering wheel is the toughest part. Being more mature my yoga moves are quite limited.

I would try marking a spot of leather you can't see first, and trying to wipe it off afterwards, before trying it on the actual thread areas

Probably not under that color name. 
If this is to color the stitching on the black seats: Without going into a lecture about color perception, and how, unless it directly touches the blue leather, virtually any bright turquoise blue (not turquoise green) pen will look just fine.
Obviously, test to see if the colors are close, but when in doubt, put an inch of space between the colors and then ask yourself if they match. That small space will cover a multitude of sins or exacerbate them.
Ok, a mini lecture.
