What does perm press mean on my washer?
Permanent press clothes can't be washed in really hot water because it can make wrinkles. So they need to be washed in warm water. In the dryer, you need to take permanent press clothes out of the dryer while they are still warm in order for them to be wrinkle free. So the perm press cycle in the dryer keeps fluffing and warming the clothes until you take them out and hang them up.

That's supposed to select a cycle that's best for permanent press clothing. I'm going to guess that it sets a normal wash cycle, but a slow spin, and either warm or cold water.
All colored garments get the permanent-press cycle. Colored clothes, such as polo shirts, khaki pants and dress socks, are permanent staples of your wardrobe, so keep that in mind as you drop them in the wash. The permanent-press cycle washes with warm water and rinses with cool, offering water temperatures and a mild-agitation cycle that's gentler on your clothes. These features clean, maintain and protect the fabric of your colored garments, which usually make up the outer visible pieces of your wardrobe. If it’s a one-button option, select either “permanent press” or “warm water.” For a two-button washer, pair the two together when washing colors.
