I made a mixture of bleach and water to clean with. I accidentally got some drops of it on my bluish carpet. Now those spots are immediately beige in color. Is there any quick dye or remedy that I can use to make those spots blue again?

I know a guy who restores used cars to resell!
Now there is an honest living!
Anyhow , he uses spray paint really light touches to match and cover stains in the carpets of cars that he is going to resell.
So far I don't think any of them are BLOOD stains!
I hope!

First of all a stain can be either from an added color or missing color. Both are permanent and require knowledge in removing color or in the adding of color.

Cutting the Stain out should be the last option.

The first step is in removing the bleach. There are several ways in removing bleach from carpeting. Hot water extraction is one. You may also fill a spray bottle with hot water and extract with a shop vac. This can remove some of the bleach. I recommend using a bleach neutralizer afterwards. This will inactivate any bleach left in the carpet. See my YouTube video

Bleach Marks are not difficult to repair if you understand a few concepts. I like to see and label Bleach Marks as Partial Bleach Stains. Let me explain. All carpet colors are a mixture of only three colors. That being said, we have only Red, blue, and yellow. Chemicals such as household bleach will remove one or more of these primary colors. When Blue is missing, then the bleach mark appears orange. When blue and red are missing, then the stain will appear yellow.

When restoring color to a bleach stain, it makes clear and common sense to replace only the primary color or colors missing. You would not want to use colors similar to the carpeting color. Any color added to a bleach mark will blend with the remaining colors. Large companies continue to sell many different shades and colors. These are not needed and will not match.

It also makes sense to use only the same type of dyes found in carpeting. Rit dye will make the bleach stain worse. Do not use coffee or tea bags or sharpies. Use only carpet mill dye and replace only the missing Primary colors. We show you how. watch our video at bleachmarks.com
Here is a portion of the video. It shows how the same blue and red dye are used in restoring the color on three different carpets

A bleach "stain" is not a stain, but an absence of color. Contact a respected carpet cleaning service in the area and discuss a dye job. This is not a diy job for the inexperienced.

you could try a die (usually in the cleaning area at the grocery store) but you might not be able to match up your carpet. The colors are VERY slim.

usually once bleach bleaches something, your outta luck.
if anything, find a small rug or something to put over the spot.

or maybe......depending on what color the carpet is, have you tried ink pen, or perminate marker?
