I wash my dark blues with my black and dark brown clothing, and my medium and light blues with my other non-red medium and light colored clothing, and haven’t noticed any cross-contamination of colors. I haven’t tried it with reds, but my understanding is that red things are much more prone to bleeding than any other color and should definitely be washed separately.
I wash all of my colours together, with no problems, but I also always wash them on cold/cold. If I ever have to wash something red on hot, I hope that I’ll remember to separate it from the blue clothes, but I might not.
I have had exactly one load of laundry go wrong ever due to colors running. (Purple.) I pretty much blatantly ignore washing directions, except for formalwear and business suits. If something cannot survive being thrown in with the regular wash, it’s too much trouble to keep. (It helps that I thrift the vast majority of my wardrobe, so I’m rarely out more than $5 or so if something is ruined.)
Especially if you like green. :P
Do not leave pieces of colored paper in the pockets of clothing before washing.

I wash my red things with my other colorful clothes. I haven’t had problems.
Apart from the first few washes of a red thing I wash all my clothes in together. I haven’t had problems either. :)

And those are easy to handle—drycleaners!
