I'm not sure how to remove colours but you could try putting a nice throw over the sofa to cover and protect it?

Light fabric sofas can take colour from clothes particularly if the weather is hot and you’re wearing jeans.Always best when buying a fabric sofas to pay to have it sprayed against stains.
Look online for a good furniture foam cleaner or ask in a furniture store for one.

I’ve got light coloured fabric sofas, and I confess that having had them dry cleaned a couple of times, I now put them in the washing machine a couple of times a year, and they come up like new. It was a bit of a gamble the first time, but I’m glad I took it.
