Let’s be honest—most of us flush and forget. But every once in a while, you might catch a glimpse of your pee and think… “Wait, was that normal?” 😅

Believe it or not, your urine is like a little health check-in from your body. From hydration to liver health, those subtle color changes can reveal more than you might think. 💡

Let’s decode 9 common urine colors and what they might be trying to tell you.

1. 🚰 Clear or Almost Transparent
What it means:
You’re very well hydrated—maybe even too much. While drinking water is important, crystal-clear pee could mean your body is flushing out essential salts.

Should you worry?
Not necessarily. But if you’re not feeling thirsty and you’re running to the bathroom constantly, you might want to ease up just a bit.

2. 🌾 Pale Yellow (Straw-Colored)
What it means:
This is the sweet spot. Your hydration is on point, and your body is balanced.

✅ No action needed—just keep sipping water regularly!

3. 🌟 Bright or Neon Yellow
What it means:
Don’t be alarmed! This is a common side effect of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) or B-complex supplements.

Is it safe?
Yes. That glowing color just means your body is flushing out extra vitamins it doesn’t need.

4. 🧡 Dark Yellow or Amber
What it means:
You may be slightly dehydrated. The body conserves water by concentrating waste, which darkens urine.

What to do:
Drink a couple of glasses of water and check again in a few hours. If it lightens, you’re back on track.

5. 🟠 Orange
What it means:
Could be due to dehydration, certain meds, or even liver issues—especially if you also notice light-colored stools or yellowing skin/eyes.

When to check with a doctor:
If the color doesn’t go away or if other symptoms appear, it’s best to get evaluated.

6. 🩸 Pink or Red
What it means:
🍓 Could be harmless (think: beets or blueberries).
❗ But if you haven’t eaten any red foods, it might indicate blood in the urine, which could be linked to infections, kidney stones, or something more serious.

Don’t ignore this one:
