Scuffs are typically a larger area that’s been damaged or worn away, scuffing is more common on furniture usually happening when moving home and the corner of the sofa / couch gets scuffed getting in or out of the home, normally scuffed against a brick wall.
With automotive leather scuffing normally appears after trying to get something large in your car, causing this to scuff the leather as you’re getting this in the car, scuffing is always a bigger amount of damage compared to scratch.
Colour loss is different again, people easily mistake colour loss as a scuff only because the colour has been removed from the surface and they describe this as my seats are scuffed.
