It's not just the colour, it's the mix of light and dark patches. If it was just the colour you could select the carpet, desaturate and then add a uniform colour to the whole area. However, that does nothing to address the light and dark patches. I think the best you can hope for is to mitigate the problem by selecting the carpet then reducing contrast as much as possible (which would include lifting the shadows and lowering the highlights). If it ends up looking a bit flat you can increase the saturation of the added colour.

Hi. I am more concerned with the lens distortion. Maybe use a push broom to smooth out the patches.

I am afraid in this instance, a reshoot is required after somebody has gotten a rug rake or clean bristly push broom and smoothed out the carpet's pile. There are some things even retouching cannot cure.

The differences assure you that the carpet was vacuumed! I don't think there's a push button rug rake tool in any program.

If you are handy with the clone tool you can touch this up.

Excellent job. I never thought you would be able to do this good of a job

If possible, get all the pile going in the same direction. It's a small area, so it could be done on hands and knees - by hand. Otherwise, processing out the differences could be a challenge. You could probably fix one area and then clone it.

I did not use the clone tool to do this, but if you want to further tweak it you can use the clone tool. I actually used copy and paste, stretched the paste, erase, transform and skew to get the result that I posted. Took about 10 minutes.
