Best washing powder for coloured fabrics?

I've seen that Lidl's Formil powder for whites gets the thumbs up from 'Which?' but can't find anything about the version for coloured fabrics. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I know it's a very dull topic for a Friday afternoon but I've used Persil for years - a serious case of brand loyalty - and wondered if I was missing something.

Do you want "the best" or do you want "good enough"? We buy own brand from Tesco, Asda, aldi and find them all completely fine.

I think I'll just have to try a few; good enough is good enough.

I saw your thread title and was going to recommend Lidl Formil colour. Works very well for me. Colours stay bright and blacks are still black. Quite like Bold, too, when it's cheap in B&M.

Thanks @PatMustardsBigTool - I'll start with that.

Waitrose own brand (though the boxes aren't very big)

or Tesco if I'm in there .
I love the snell of the Tesco Non Bio liquid for delicates .

Anyone tried the M&S detergents? I was looking in there and bought a couple of the fabric conditioner ( Palmleaf and Ginger- odd combination but smells really nice)

We have used Lidl Colour (Formil) for 15 yrs. I have no complaints. Seems fine.
