Extensive shrinking or color fading problems are absolutely rare to non-existent in "modern" cloth (~produced after 1995). There have been introduced several innovative methods during production to reduce this problem to a minimum. Cloth only shrinks if you really boil it or ignore the washing instructions for it at all...a bit of shrinking (5%) is considered to be within regular tolerancy, as every product has to "fit in" in the beginning.
Same goes for color fading. Colors usually only fade if you set the temperature way over the described limit. Color mixing by washing multiple colours simultaneously (which btw is stupid) is also reduced strongly. Only very slight color alterations will be noticeable after one washing. If you do this regularly, the result will differ, obviously...
All this even counts for cheap cloth. At least, regular cheap cloth produced by "good" brands (e.g. the cheap H&M stuff etc.). Stuff that is sold "noname", e.g. the tees sold to tourists by flying merchants, that really is another world altogether...
