The present invention relates to rinse added laundry additive compositions having a color care agent and to methods for using the compositions. The laundry additive composition comprises from about 0.1 % to about 50 % by weight of the composition of a color care agent having the formula: (R1)(R2)N(CX2)n N(R3)(R4), wherein X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear or branched; substituted or unsubstituted alkyl having from 1-10 carbon atom s and substituted or unsubstituted aryl having at least 6 carbon atoms; n is an integer from 1 to 6; R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independent ly selected from the group consisting of alkyl; aryl; alkaryl; arylalk; hydroxyalkyl; polyhydroxyalkyl; polyalkylether having the formula: - ((CH2)y O)2R7, where R7 is hydrogen or a linear, branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl chain having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a nd where y is an integer from 2 to 10 and z is an integer from 1 to 30; alkoxy; polyalkoxy having the formula: -(O(CH2)y)z R7; the group - C(O)R8, where R8 is alkyl; alkaryl; arylalk; hydroxyalkyl; polyhydroxyalkyl, and polyalkylether as defined in R1, R2, R3, and R4; CX2CX2N(R5)(R6) with no more than one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 being CX2CX2N(R5)(R6) and wherein R5 and R6 are alkyl; alkaryl; arylalk; hydroxyalkyl; polyhydroxyalkyl, polyalkylether,alkoxy and polyalkoxy as defined in R1, R2, R3 and R4; and either of R1 + R3 or R4 or R 2 + R3 or R4 can combine to form a cyclic substituent. Optional ingredients include a quaternary ammonium fabric softening compoun d.
