heres how i do mine..
separate into 4 things, whites, lights, darks, towels.
WHITES; all white teeshirts, tanks, shorts, undies, socks, sweatshirts, basically anything plain white!! no off whites, or anything with something written on it. *use bleach if everything is ALL white
LIGHTS; light pink, blue, green, light grey, anything white with designs on it, bras, colored undies or socks, anything basicallly LIGHT colored!!!!
DARKS; blacks, navys, purple, dark grey, dark green & bright colors, such as bright yellow or pink. shirts, shorts, pants, pajamas, whatever!!! sweatshirts can also go in here
TOWELS; this is simple, just towels! NO BLEACH UNLESS ALL TOWELS ARE WHITE!
*** some tips
- dont use bleach unless everythings white,
- dont forget to hang up all clothes after washing,
- use dryer for towels, sheets, stretchy tanks or shirts, undies, socks, big sweatshirts, pjs and anything that WONT shrink!!!!
good luck!!!!!!!!

Hey- I've answered a question similar to this just recently:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
From there:
I'm sure its different for everyone- but this is how I do my laundry [yes, I'm one of the few teenage guys who actually does his own laundry].
Whites go together- and usually socks are included in this unless they aren't white. Tube socks are alright in this mixture. Don't use bleach unless everything in there is COMPLETELY white- not an off-white or white with red stripes.
Colors go together- but usually, I separate into each color- like Reds, Oranges, and Yellows go together [yellow can go with green also]. Greens, Blues, Purples, and Blacks go together. You don't want to have light blues and light greens in this load, so maybe do a separate load with just the light blues and light greens. If you have blue jeans that are dark and you don't want them to fade, turn them inside out. If you have a shirt with plastic lettering on it- turn it inside out. You don't want it to fade and melt.
If you have a stain on a piece of clothing, put some of the soap on it before it goes in the washer. Just a dab or two should be fine, if you rub it in a little bit.
Towels do generally go together, no matter their color. Unless of course you have like white towels and black towels together. That isn't a good idea. Beach towels and other colors of towels washed together are fine.
If you're afraid something will blend colors- wash it in cold water- preferably not in the washer. This is mainly for White and Red shirts.
If you need anymore information on laundry- or you have more questions- you can say in feedback- or ask another question to my inbox.
