Do I put it under a shower first and see if the colour drains? Because my shirt's label doesn't say whether it has 'colourfast'. Mine's Diesel. Does anyone know whether the colour of Diesel T-shirts run? I don't want my next laundry to come out in a brilliant shade of pink. :) Thanks!

put it in the sink with water and then take it out and see if the water is colored. if so wash it alone or with other colors like it or with dark colors that it cant hurt.

Best way to test is to hand wash it first.
Most labels will say something like "wash before wearing" or "wash with like colors" if it's going to bleed.

If you're not sure if it's colorfast, wash it in cool water separately. Add salt to the water to "set" the color.
If it's unworn, a rinse cycle will do, if not, do the wash cycle with detergent.

It depends on which color. If its red it will turn white to pink. If its light colors nothing will happen. If its dark the colors pass on.

most manufacturers recommend washing new fabrics separately in cold water first.

if you're that concerned, hand wash it.
