Actually, I've been using the same detergent for years (Tide with the color safe stuff). After a year or so of using the dryer, the buttons would turn pink. Once I stopped putting my shirts in the dryer, the buttons stayed blue, even on shirts that were a couple of years old. 
Even if I take them out of the washer at midnight and hang them up, they're dry by the morning. Good tip for anyone who's tired of pink buttons on their powder blues.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
