you're a liar. shout is just detergent, so i highly doubt it faded the clothes unless they were very discoloured to begin with. if you used something stronger, like an oxidising agent such as bleach, you're out of luck. you're broken down the pigment in the fabric. your best bet is probably to try to use a matching dye, or just abuse the pants until they are consistently faded.
