I don't know if this is true, but I always heard cold water makes clothes 1) keep their colors better and 2) shrink less. I have a hunch that's an old wives tale, but based solely on that, I would wash in cold.
If this is an old wives tale, then I must be an old wife. :P If you want to "set" the colour, you need to use cold. And if I dont' want my clothes shrunken in the wash, I wash them...in cold. (Hubby tends to use water too warm and has shrunken a few sweaters, shortened pants, etc. :( )
