Hotels use white bed sheets exactly because they stain easily
With a white sheet it’s very easy to spot if they weren’t cleaned properly.
Having the wash all the same color also makes it easier because you don’t worry about bleeding colors and fading, and you can use bleach to clean them and remove stains.
Yes and no. White shows stains more than colors, but colors are not harder to stain. You just see it less.
On the other hand, if you want to get rid of stains, treatment with things like lots of chlorine bleach and similar chemicals can take out almost anything. Unfortunately, that almost anything includes any colors in your sheets that are supposed to be there.
Additionally, those same caustic chemicals will kill most bacteria, mold, and mildew, so the next person to use those sheets is protected from whatever nastiness the last customer might have gotten on those sheets.
I also suspect that some customers might be suspicious of colored sheets on the grounds that it is harder to see the stains. With white sheets, a glance can tell you the sheets are clean.
