Have you tried nail polish remover? It isn't as harsh as white spirits, but again, test it on your least favourite section of the couch first.
Good luck.

If paint will not clean off with LTT Maxi Cleaner (www.LTTsolutions.net) it is unlikely to be removed with anything that will not also damage the leather finish. A good technician should be able to reduce the paint and colour over any residues.
If you do have a paint spillage:
Remove excess wet paint using a knife, wallpaper scraper etc. taking care not to scratch the surface and working from the outside to the inside of the spill so as not to spread it further. Once the bulk is removed mop up the rest with a cloth or paper towel again working from the outside. The remainder should now be cleaned ideally with a foam leather cleaner (LTT do a ready to use foam cleaner) but warm soapy water can be used if leather cleaner is not to hand. All of these processes need to be carried out before the paint dries. The object is to remove as much of the paint before it dries as possible. This will make whatever processes are necessary to finally restore the leather more effective.
Do not be tempted to use products such as brush cleaner, white spirit, turps, nail varnish remover etc as these are likely to damage the leather finish and make final repairs difficult or impossible.
Once the paint is dry there is nothing that can safely be used without damaging the leather and it is best to contact your insurance company or a good leather technician.

Try meths or turps but attempt it on a patch somewhere on the back first to ensure it doesn't ruin the leather.

Turps should work, but test it somewhere inconspicuous first. Or you could get a throw!
