Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent Review

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been posting lately, but here's another review for you guys. I can't wait until the summer when I can hopefully post more frequently for you guys. Sorry again for the long waits in between reviews. I'll be posting a couple more soon.
First of all, yes, I did get this for free from Purex in exchange for an honest review. This review is completely honest and completely my own. I'm under no obligation to write a positive review and I would never accept anything that required me to. Now, let's get started.
Purex No Sort for Colors Detergent is a new detergent that Purex is coming out with and it is supposed to allow you to have mixed color loads without any or less color transfer. It has "Anti-Color-Transfer Technology" which is supposed to trap loose dyes in the wash to reduce color bleeding.
If you read the label, it seems relatively easy to use, but it does have a warning saying that before you try it with strongly colored fabrics or new clothes, you should first separately wash them at least 5 times before trying it with this detergent in a mixed color load. So, essentially, it can't perform miracles and can't be expected to be able to prevent color bleeding no matter what. Okay… somewhat understandable.
Now, my test.
The instructions told me to fill to level D for normal loads, but for some reason, the inside of the cap doesn't have any markings, which I found quite annoying since it made me have to guess the amount of detergent and I don't know if I put too much, too little, or the right amount.
It has a dark blue color and has a rather fresh scent that was quite strong. It doesn't seem to be special in any way and seems like a normal laundry detergent.
I tried it on a white shirt, a pair of jeans, a red hoodie, a black hoodie, and other miscellaneous pieces of clothing.
The result?
The clothes were clean and the white shirt stayed white. However, I'm not sure if it was because I used the detergent. It may have been that the dyes of the clothing didn't run and thus, nothing turned a different color.

Overall, as a detergent it worked well. However, I don't appreciate that it doesn't have markings on the inside of the cap. It's inconvenient and harder to use because of it. After all, if you have to constantly guess the amount, you may put too much and have to put the clothes through a second cycle or put too little and have the clothes not be clean. Because of this, I don't know if I would recommend it.

And that's it for my review! I hope it was informative and if you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them!
