Newbie here! Hi

Haven't introduced myself yet, but instead have been reading for a gazillion hours since finding the forum!
This is a burning question I have. IF I were to wash my fabrics before jumping into my first piecing project, would I combine ALL the darks like blacks, blues, greens, purples, ect in one load and ALL the bright colors in another or would I have to wash one color at a time?? Seems like washing a bright yellow with a red would look like a hot mess! I keep getting conflicting answers from books, google, ect. Nothing I've read has ever really said much more than "prewash darks and brights" without clarification. Then whats more, I watched a Fons & Porter episode about fabric selection and it was mentioned that the way a fabric is made (dyed, printed, quality, etc.) is a factor in how much if at all they bleed. Ugh! So confusing.

Thanks
