The color change is due to a chemical process similar to oxidation, which the bleach causes. It breaks the chemical composition of the dyes, destroying the color. It also damages fabrics, particularly when the elvel of it exceeds certain limits.
The bleach doesn't remove dirt, but it does lighten dirt-carried colors. The detergents break the adhesion of dirt, suspend it and help it rinse out.

It remains in the same location for the most part. Dont get me wrong some of it is washed away but bleach just bleaches the dye molecules. So bleach actually breaks the molecular bonds of the dye and in affect removes it from the visible spectrum. The oxidative effect of bleach causes this reaction.

The color is oxidized by the bleaching chemical. It still exists but has lost its color. The detergent in the water lifts the dirt off and keeps it suspended until the wash cycle water is drained out.

just changes the color so that it appears to be gone, when in reality its exactly where it was before you put the bleach in.
