Avoid pink, yellow and green chalk! And I've had problems with Green Crayola UltraClean Washable Marker once--had used before and only thing different is that client had started fabric first.
My favorites are water soluble blue line pen or the purple air erasable pens--test both first and once done, be sure that first "wash" is without detergent.

White is more difficult and if I had to mark a lot, I would buy the quilter’s water erasable blue pen. If it is straight lines, I use painter’s tape on the quilt top or my Hera marker. A Hera marker works best with the batt under the top and pressing firmly on a table or hard surface. If it is simple shapes, you can cut the shape out of freezer paper and iron it to the quilt top to quilt around.

Don't just test washability on the fabric, test on the THREAD. I once had markers wash out of the fabric but cling to the thread. I'm always very reluctant to mark on my fabrics except with chalk that will brush off, and this was one of the few times I tried something else. Fortunately it only shows if I go looking for it. Or maybe I've gotten used to it and don't notice it any more.

I love LEONIS 5 Air Erasable Marking Pens Pink
. get them on Amazon. They disappear on their own, or if you want to speed up the process, you can spritz with a little water.
