    Wrong brand. I have various coloured sheets and they’re still holding their colour after years.

    Look it’s hard to tell with sheet quality sometimes unfortunately. I have two sets of linen sheets, both expensive organic whatever… the navy one from Elkie & Ark bought in Dec 2020 started not just pilling but, to my frustration, leaving tiny, pilled fibres on the mattress under where I slept and it’s been impossible to get them off. The other one, an olive green set from Bed Threads with two extra ochre pillow cases bought in Mar 2022, has had no issues.

    Neither has faded though.

      Hmm ok sounds like I was very unlucky with my choice then. This is a lesson to me to do more product research before buying.

        Also, if you have doubts, you can wash items BEFORE use with salt in the water instead of soap powder/detergent. This will fix the colour - even for very cheap dyed items. Dosage is 1 cup of pure cooking salt (not iodised) per 10 litres of water in the machine. Rinse with clean water as normal. This also cleans your machine quite well.

          They seem to be quite cheap price wise, and they have remained colour fast? I’ll admit I’m surprised.
