I realize this will vary from state-to-state, or from one association to the other. But I presented this as possible theory of why a lighter colored fabric might take on a "pinkish" tint.

By the way, you're talking to a guy that just got done sewing all new light blue buttons on two different shirts where the original buttons turned that hideous pink/purple color.

Another experiment I might attempt is to try dying a faded pair of heather grey pants, either to restore the heather color or to match the new darker shade or grey. I definitely will be using an old pair of pants I don't wear anymore as my "guinea pig"!
