Carpet question

In the course of having the exterior of our home repainted, we've had a small disaster.

The painters (who are fantastic btw), spent several days cleaning the doors, trim, window frames with a bleach solution and caulking/sanding etc prior to painting. I have a rarely-used glass door which exits from our master bedroom to the lanai that they cleaned as well. On day 2 of prep work, I opened this door to let the lunatic, yapping Chihuahua, who was being held hostage in the master as a courtesy to these very nice painter guys, out for a bathroom break. When I did this, apparently some bleach solution that was still in the weather stripping of the door dripped across the carpet.... and now I have a lovely arc of bleach stains.

The carpet is a khaki-colored berber that is in very good shape...not nearly ready for replacement yet. So I wonder if there is a way to restore the color. Anyone with similar experiences out there? This carpet is no longer made and I have no extra scraps.
