How do you separate laundry?

I found that mixing the load made my whites less white and my blacks more pale.
I do it by 3 ways to retain purity among colors
1. Whites only, no blacks allowed
2. Lighter colors, like pastel
3. Darker colors, like navy
4. Blacks only, maintains its darkness
How does the OT’s maids do it?

Clean and dirty in separate piles. No need to complicate it

My wife does not let me do laundry.

I don’t.
I keep towels separate and wash them by theirselves but for clothes, they go in together

Anything non cotton- underwear, Columbia shorts, fishing shirts
Cotton- no color separation, it's mostly socks and a few t-shirts.
Jeans/pants
All washed on cold. Towels and sheets washed on warm or hot.

Not an OT baller, had to learn to do my own laundry when I left home for college.
Lessons learned:
--Colors get cold water, whites get hot water.
----If it's a small load of old clothes (ie: not likely to bleed), it's fine to mix them as long as the water is cold.
--If it's new and colored, wash it only with like-colored items for the first few washes to lessen impact of bleeding (shirts, especially reds, which feel kind of stiff/plastic-y WILL bleed even if you wash them in a fricking iceberg, Tommy Hilfiger stuff was horrible about this back in the day).
--For colored items you want to retain their colors, tumble dry for only 20-30 minutes (ie: just long enough to get many of the wrinkles out) then hang dry (the dryer is where a lot of fading happens).
--If whites start getting a little less vibrant, bleach is your friend.
--Pique shirts hold color far better than knits.

Hitler had similar laundry separation theories.

Sheets Towels Everything else
Towels/sheets get hot water.
Other clothes get cold or warm. Flip a coin.

Jam washer full, wash then put in dryer. As few loads as possible.

My wife separates it like this:
1. kids stuff
2. her stuff
3. my stuff with her ink pen
I just separate lights and darks and then to the washer.
