Tide never had a "color care" line per se, so those clever chops came up with Tide Total Care....
As with all Tide detergents then the stuff is loaded with OBAs, but also contains various polymers meant to protect fabrics during laundering and when worn. A nice dose of cellulase enzyme chewed off bobbles keeping things smooth looking, and thus by extension colors more vibrant. In general TTC was advertised as helping with seven (7) signs of wear.
"Dress to the Sevens every day with Tide Total Care. It goes beyond cleaning to help reveal the 7 signs of beautiful clothes: Clean, Color, Shape, Finish, Softness, Pill Prevention and Stain Fighting"
P&G would exploit this same polymer technology in Downy fabric softener version that also promised "total care" of fabrics.
Tide Total Care no longer is manufactured from what one can see. When it was things were before a time when Tide liquids were generally low froth (like now). P&G did not recommend using this product in "HE" washers, but their standard response (then) applied; to seek out a detergent clearly marked "HE".

As usual for P&G detergents there is more ways to skin a cat...
Consumer Reports found that while yes, TTC did prevent fading and so forth, so did Tide Coldwater which cost less.

While P&G has discontinued TTC, there are other products including offerings from Tide, Persil and others that have same or similar polymer and so forth technology who make same or similar claims.
Henkel has a whole line of such products under Perwoll "Renew" line.

For record sniffed a bottle of TTC back when it was on shelves as though it might be good for dress shirts and cotton knits. The "renewing rain" scent bowled me over so didn't purchase. [this post was last edited: 9/22/2021-20:34]
