Normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to deep amber - the result of a pigment called urochrome.

Urochrome is a pigment that is one of the causes of the yellow color in urine. It is a breakdown product of the blood's hemoglobin and is removed by the kidneys. Depending on the amount of Urochome the urine might be darker. B vitamins turn urine an eye-popping neon yellow. Carrot juice can tint it orange. And porphyria, a disease that affects your skin and nervous system, earned its reputation - and its name - by turning urine the color of port wine. Most changes in urine color are harmless and temporary - the result of certain foods, dyes, supplements or prescription drugs. Occasionally, though, unusual urine color can indicate an infection or serious illness.
