wait, i thought it was crucial to divide laundry so you don’t mix white stuff with all the other colors? won’t your white socks turn gray if you mix them with black?
Unless something is brand new (which should get its own like-color wash to knock out any loose dyes), wash on cold water and you’ll be fine tbh. If your whites start to get a little dingy then you could do a separate whites bleach wash every once in a while. But honestly I don’t have enough clothes to be separating them, it would result in very small laundry loads which feel like a waste of time and resources (water, energy, etc).
You don’t want to be throwing brand new blue jeans in with whites. They tend to bleed colour a little bit on first wash.
I haven’t had an issue with anything else in, uh, 20 years?
I now split laundry into socks/underwear and everything else, mostly because I’m tired of those items filtering down to the bottom of the basket while I’m too lazy to put my laundry away.

why do I care about socks. I just wear grey socks.
I do have a couple of shite shirts I do wash separately but most of the time I ensure I get clothes that don’t matter.
Nope, not really
