The "color" is excess dye coming off the fabric - the other fabrics that absorb it are then permanently dyed and it's almost impossible to remove.
I am very impressed with Color Catchers, but I only use them to wash new quilting fabrics. I don't use them in regular laundry. They are quite expensive, so I sort my laundry the old fashioned way to avoid color transfer.
