Best Answer

Urine is a transparent solution that can range from colorless to amber but is normally a pale yellow. In the urine of a healthy person, the color comes yellow from the presence of a product called urobilin. Urobilin is the final waste product resulting from the breakdown of heme from hemoglobin during the destruction of aging blood cells in the body.

Colorless urine can indicate over-hydration, which is usually considered much healthier than dehydration. Ina dehydrated person the urine colour will be very dark or even seem brown. However, over-hydration can remove essential salts from the body so there is a fine balance.
