Any color in urine is a reflection of light off the particles it contains.
If you drink enough clear liquids (mainly water) than you will eventually flush most of these particles from your system and your urine will be clear.
If you have bright yellow urine this is typically a side effect of high vitamin or mineral intake. Any excess that your body did not use is flushed from your system and most healthy minerals reflect a bright yellow.
Darker yellow (or even brown) can be a sign of sickness or sometimes over coming a sickness as the body flushes waste from your system.
Other colors and shades have various meanings but a range between clear and bright yellow is typically the healthiest.

The yellow color of urine is primarily due to a pigment called urobilin, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells in the liver. The concentration of urobilin can vary depending on factors such as hydration levels, diet, and certain medications. Therefore, the shade of yellow in urine can range from pale yellow to a darker, more concentrated yellow.
