In terms of which washing product to pick for dark clothes, most people myself included will point you to Woolite Darks liquid laundry detergent. One of the reasons is transference, of course. But more importantly, there are products out there which can return shine and brilliance to black clothing. Of course, I would highly suggest that you do so. Sensitive and thin underwear , as well as lingerie, pantyhose, and various silk products should not go into the washer with regular laundry.
This type of laundry is pretty delicate and you can ruin it either through transference or with friction via other clothing. In order to save yourself the trouble of buying new underwear, make sure you separate it from the rest of the laundry every time.
After all, a strong , powerful stain needs a specific process to be removed. If you were to just throw a heavily-stained shirt into a full washer, you would only ruin the item further. More importantly, you would ruin other clothes in the washer and, ironically, give them new stains through the one from the shirt. Before going about heavily-stained shirts and trousers, I browse online to see what the best way to wash them is.
Once I find it, I separate all clothes with similar stains into a group and do the wash. The dark pile is for blacks, navies, reds and greys. If you are really concerned that your darks may cross-contaminate each other, you can keep splitting it down as well. For example, you can split all of your brighter darks into one pile and leave the blacks, navies and greys in a separate pile. If you have a pair of grey chinos, though, you may want to consider a whole new pile of washing. The weight of the fabric your garment is made from should also be a factor when you sort your piles.
If you are washing a few grey t-shirts and a couple of pairs of chinos, these should be done separately. You should also follow the same rules for any grey delicates. If you have a grey wool jumper, for example, you should sort this into a dark pile of delicates. Search Forums Advanced. Page 1 of 2.

If you buy new white or light clothing, however, it won't matter if you mix them together, as light and white clothing won't bleed onto dark clothing. Though many people swear by sorting laundry before washing it, you can wash your darks and lights together with little risk of your lights changing colors. Keep in mind, however, that over time, colors will begin to fade if you always wash darks and lights together.
I usually wash greys with light colors or dark colors, depending on how dark the grey is. Whatever you do, don't put the grays in the load as the blues. I use bleach in my whites so I would probably wash gray t-shirts by themselves or with similar colors if you don't have enough to run a small load. It's usually OK to put grays in the whites load with bleach.
I would expect some small portion of the grey to be bleached out each time you wash, but my experience is that this is usually almost imperceptible. Cold water washing will not make clothes bleed color like hot water will. Color transfer can still happen when using only cold water so it is best to keep colors and whites separated. It is best to wash it with dark colors. Never wash it with reds, blues, purples, and blacks.
