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).

Why does hair turn yellow during a keratin treatment?

... I have highlighted hair, and have had this happen a few times, and it is because the heat of the iron is too high. Blond hair is a lot more delicate, and if your iron is too hot, mixed with the keratin, it can turn your hair yellow. Lower the straightening iron temp to 400 max. Hope that helps...!
