I believe it is the original color. I don't see anything that indicates it was altered and I'm comfortable enough with what I see to say it's fine.

I agree it’s an authentic Small Satchel. There were several minor changes in the style over the years. The color looks like Taupe with Burnt Cedar trim, an unusual combination.
Thank you both. Now I wish I had bid.
 
Authentic B710 vintage carrier. From your pictures, I think the colors look like bone and British tan.

Thanks you so much for the quick reply, is there a reason that the trim wouldn't have darkened?

Hard to say! The trim starts out light and then darkens depending on many factors such as moisture, oils, rubbing, chemicals in the environment, time, etc.

Here's a picture of three of mine (Taupe Small Essex, Bone Small Hobo, Wheat Cavalry Body Bag) and you can see slight variations in the color of the British Tan trim.

It's authentic. I don't know the style name, but there is a similar satchel on Horsekeeping (shoulder strap version; handles have different attachment configuration):
