Urine is one way that your body gets rid of waste products. The waste products that make urine yellow are called urobilins. These are products of the break down of bilirubin, a pigment found in bile. In fact, this has come from the break down of the better known pigment found in blood, haemoglobin.
Basically It's due to excretion of urochrome, a blood pigment. Urochrome is a yellow-colored pigment that gives the color to urine.

Can taking vitamin d turn hair yellow?
The normal yellowish-amber color of urine is mainly due to a chemical called urochrome or urobilin, which is produced from the breakdown of heme. Vitamin D itself is white and, as far as I can find, doesn't have a particularly notable effect on urine color. Some vitamins can affect urine color... B vitamins, for example, can produce a vibrant, almost fluorescent yellow or green color, and vitamins A and C can turn urine orangish. If you're concerned about drug testing, using foreign substances to impart a "normal" color to diluted urine will only fool a cursory visual inspection (if that... the B-vitamin yellow looks, to the trained eye, "odd" compared to the normal color produced by urobilin).
Since urobilin is produced once urine is out of the body shouldn't the normal colour of urine then be colourless as it is passed out?
Urobilin can be degraded into urochrome, which is normally present in urine and responsible for its characteristically yellow color.
