You know Steve, its funny that you mention this.  I used to have some
purple towels but whenever I washed them I would get brown rags.  I had the
hardest time figuring this out.  It wasn't that the washer was broken or
anything, because I could wash anything else and have it come out clean.  I
finally tracked it down to a crosspost between /dev/null on LostBox and
that portion of the Twilight Zone where single socks and contact lenses get
dumped.  Somehow I was tapping into this and when I put purple towels into
the washer out would come an amalgam of whatever was in the Twilight Zone.
In disgust I started buying white towels and the problem went away.  I have
since moved so I cannot duplicate this phenomina.
