What do you suppose you're removing from the lint trap?
The dead skin of my clothes.
Wat. Mine is always the average colour of the load.
It changes color
It's a similar reason that if you mix a bunch of crayons together they turn brown. They don't always turn brown, they just usually do if you use all the colors.
If you dry a load of pure white towels, 100% cotton, you'll get different lint than if you do all black polyester workout shirts.
