I washed a new pair of dark blue jeans with a color sheet and a pair of light lime jeans and some other clothes. The blue jeans bled onto the lime jeans. They have been dried. Please help me to get the blue out. Thank you in advance.

If the clothing have been dried in the dryer, you may not be able to get the dye transfer out completely.
But you can try washing the clothing that has been accidentally transfer-dyed separately (nothing else in the washer) at the hottest water setting the garment will take (check the label), it has worked for me on some things. It usually takes a couple of washings to get the transferred dye out satisfactorily, and you may want to try a pre-soak in very hot water if your fabric will take it. Blue jean dye is usually easiest to remove this way but it doesn't always come completely out, though.
There are dye transfer removal products available but it's been my experience those remedies strip ALL colour, so be wary of that.

How do I get black dye out that ran in the wash on a mint colored shirt?

Run it back thru the wash with some oxyclean in it.
