You can soak them in water with vinegar and salt then rinse. Be sure to use cold water when you soak the item, and do not wash it with light colored clothes until you know the color will not bleed onto the other items, and always wash it in cold water. Do not hang outside on a clothes line, because the sun will fade colors also.
If you are washing cotton, you can add about 1/4 cup table salt directly to your wash water to help prevent color loss. This will also help keep dark fabrics from fading into the light color fabrics during wash.
If you do have clothes that fade, especially as they are worn and washed repeatedly, you can always re-dye them. Just buy the appropriate color clothes dye, and follow the directions. If it is an item that you would like to have matching socks, tee shirts, etc. you can put those items (white) in with the dye bath, and they will be a perfect match.

What is the behavior of cotton?
Cotton has various characteristics, some positive and some a little negative. I'm assuming you mean the fabric cotton and not the plant. It is a natural fabric made from the cotton plant fibers. It softens more and more with each washing and nearly always needs ironing for a fresh look. It tends to lose color after repeated washings. However, modern fabric makers can treat cotton fabric to make it more colorfast and by adding a little polyester to it, can make the colors last longer and possibly cut down or cut out the ironing time. As cotton is a soft natural fabric, it is comfortable for people with sensitive skin. It is versatile and can be spun into knitting/crocheting yarns, and "cotton knit" is the fabric for tees and many other articles of clothing.
